>>>I saw the post that says these are possible replacements for 6V6s.
They
look OK on paper, but has anyone *heard* them? And if so, what are they
like?

I’ve done this swap. I used NOS Tung Sol 6EY6s in a 65 Deluxe Reverb.
They sound just fine!! They do need noticibly more negative bias on their
control grids than a real 6V6, so if you do this, a re-bias job is
absolutely mandatory.

BTW, the other tube is 6EZ5, not 6EZ6.

Tremo.
