Yes, I should clarify. I didn't audition the MV60SE this time around or for this system. I auditioned it for another system about 7 years ago. The preamp was a CJ Premier 17LS (series 1) and the speakers were B&W CDM1SEs. I was comparing the MV60SE to my CJ solid state MF2250 to see if all tubes was the way to go for me.
To me, at least in that system, the MV60SE sounded hyper detailed and somewhat dry. I still kind of enjoyed it, but when I put the MF2250 back into the system the next day, I realized how much more I liked it. It seemed more balanced, neutral and even liquid to me, which really surprised me.
So, there shouldn't have been any system compatibility issue. That said, many folks have been surprised by my impressions, and some have suggested that the power tubes might not have been biased properly or might have been old and ready for replacement, and that is possible. It was a demo unit at my local dealer.
