Question: What Worth Brown set would contain the best string for the 1st (A) string for linear GCEA baritone?

Background: I recently picked up a Kala baritone. I immediately put a Worth Brown baritone set on it (DGBE). I want to tune it linear GCEA. Strings 4-3-2 are easy, just move up one position the 3-2-1 strings from DGBE set. It's the 1st (A) string I'm not sure about.

Also, though it's a nice-enough entry level baritone, it's not what I would call "lively" sound-wise. So, for the A string choice it might be better to err toward higher tension, not lower.

Recommendations?

Thanks!
 
Use a concert set of strings when tuning a baritone up from DGBE to GCEA this will keep the tension similar to a tenor tuned GCEA. Use a Fremont Soloist for the low G. You can use the Worth BT low G set but the tension under finger does get a bit high. I have done this with good results and no issues
