A. "Musical" and B. "Neutral"
The Audio Note Soro PP integrated or the P-2 PP power amp. (both class A PP) featuring the 6L6GC/5881 and their substitutes lie somewhat in between these two. It is detailed and fast; has good tight bass; while the mid-range is "pretty neutral" and the treble is, well, a bit bright (as is the case with most transistor amps). But it needs to be paired with somewhat easy-to-drive speakers, even if it puts out a "whopping" 20W. I actually prefer the sound of this amp to the 845 SET amps i have heard.
I find it's personality to be bi-polar (not to be confused with bi-polar transistors) in a good way.
Anyway, as an SET-lover, I would still recommend this amp as an interesting substitute to an SS amp.
