Dan,
I am going to ask my dealer if he can let me the HDVA600 for a few days to compare it with my 300B Manley.
With the EH 300B tubes, the sound was a bit harsh at times on average recordings. The switch to Genalex reissue Gold Lion 300B's made my HD800 listening completely addictive. The sound is now more natural, the timbres are delicate and rich, while keeping impressive dynamics and resolution.
An SS amp like the Senn may give more bass tightness than a 300B SET but I'm not so sure. I wonder if the timbres will be as rich as with the 300. The comparison will be interesting.
