OK I have done extensive listening with my amps, the 601s and the 452 with the MX150 and the C500t rigs.
I guess it is hard to put a number on it % wise, but they are more alike than not alike. So outside of the power edge, maybe a tad more better black.. aka a smidgen less noise, but not that the 452 makes any noise.
I also think the tonal quality is about 95% the same, maybe the biggest diff is i think the 601s seem to be a little more 3d in terms of hearing the placement of the instruments in the band while playing.
Again both great choices, I really do not think you would hear a lot of diff, and I totally get where you are coming from.
Are you thinking maybe what about a used set of 601s? anyone here got any for sale?
Now as I said before, but a lot more $$$ and if I was in a better place like 3 years ago, i would sell my 601s and go tube amps.
Good luck, I know it is agonizing buddy!
