Makes perfect sense to me - the LS25 MKII's I've heard are very neutral yet still retain that sense of air and ease that tubes can so convincingly convey. The fact that you did not notice a difference in imaging capabilities between the 16 and 25 indicates that they are very close in this regard.

By the way -are you referring to your Aesthetix Rhea Phonostage? Would you say that the Rhea's sonic signature is more along the lines of your Manley's or does it tend to favor the LS25 MKII?

Thanks again - and might I add that your tutorial on replacing/biasing the VT100 MKII tubes is just brilliant.
