Everyone has their own taste, and every tube amplifier sounds different. This is true of different amplifier designs using the same output tube type. Ideally you have someone in your area that can loan you some tube amplifiers to listen to with the rest of your components.

If this is not the situation, suggest you have someone get the Scott working for you and listen to it. Post where you are in vintage sections and ask who repairs/restores in your area.

The Scott is a very good sounding amplifier, there is a very good chance you will love the way it sounds and keep it. If not, sell it and you have more money to buy something else.

In most things, you get what you pay for. Meaning the more money you spend the better the sound/product. From my experience tube audio is one case where this does not always hold true. It depends more on your taste and the components it plays with.
