The best 25 (23V) 1960s set I ever saw operating was an RCA CTC40. I put a used 25XP22 in it to replace the tired Colorama rebuilt 25BCP22 that was in it and was blown away with the clarity and color from that set. Of the tube type sets from that era IMO the RCAs gave the best picture, but had to have the small signal tubes in top shape for that. Zenith was a VERY close second and normally more reliable. Motorola tube sets had weird color reproduction, probably from that jack of all trades, master of none 6LE8 demodulator with the G-Y output taken from a screen grid. Silvertone color sets just never looked good to me. The Motorola TS-915 was decent but not as good as the CTC-40. The GE KC I had was really good as well, that one used separate diode demodulators for the three color difference signals.
