I found a couple of these but they are expensive. Supposed to be "cream of the crop" & highly rated for their tone.
I'm thinking about investing in a pair of these for my Maz18. Anyone with any experience?

Unfortunately, EL84/6BQ5's aren't long lived tubes. It's just the nature of EL84's mostly running at 100% all the time. Tho the NOS premium tubes like these will probably sound better and last longer than current production tubes, they're still not gonna last "forever" like Amperex/BB 6L6's, 12ax7's, etc. So it comes down to How much do you play, and How much do you wish to pay.
