Loving SET amps answers where you are coming from. Every amp has its type of colorations and you like lots of second harmonic a very pretty distortion. SET amps are very non-linear. They can't even reproduce a simple sine wave into a real load. Their topology(meaning it can't be cured) causes compression of the negative half of a signal relative to the positive half which is the source of the second harmonic.
If that's what you like it's fine but it's apples and oranges.
