RE: I've heard the same thing..

I have never heard the Sonett, but do own the Stratus. It is somewhat atypical in an SET for its lack of color. When I think of classic tube gear, I don't generally think of SET, I think instead of older PP amps with a glorious mid-range, flabby bass and rolled off highs. When I think of classic SET, I think about very engaging, somewhat warm, intimate sound. The Stratus is more neutral, has very tight deep bass and a pure, clean top end, with the mid-range we've come to expect out of SET, but virtually no colorations. It can also be very lively. The 2A3 tube one uses makes a difference: single plates are best; the AVVT meshplate is at the top.
