My opinions re. SET and pp triode

My old stuff: Data3/ Enkainthus dac/First Sound 2/ CJ8xs/ Montana EPS.(92 sen)/ all Sy.Re.active x dig and analog ics/ AM Stealth/Custom power for the front end/ 7k in power cords (yes)
I just bought a Sophia 845 The one with the 205 tube ect.($7500ret.) --(bought used)
The dif as I hear it is; with the set you loose most of the lower slam and 10% of the highs. BUT; the mid magic is to die for. Never heard Nora sound like this.--- But one keeps looking for cds that are in the 'zone' of the set amp. I love this so much. Rock ain't its forte. When you come across a bad cd,female voice or not;its bad. Anybody did the switch? If you're coming from a 6550 amp the differences are huge. Ed, where R U?-Tell us what U think.

Hey thanks guys for 'all' of your input. The more I 'hang', the more I learn. (esp. the crossover point) The one thing I have noticed is some cds are breath-taking.Pink Floyd, then Nora Jones is in the room breathing while others are such a come-down.(Dan Fogelberg--is,well OTL, or the cd is) Spank me with a wet noodle; I own and have played on this amp; Anne M.--- another disc that is a come-down, re. sonics. I kinda dislike wondering, when I pull out a cd; what is it going to sound like.
On the CJ--remember this is the triod moded one--- everything sounds good.
I think talking set is needed here. ('cause I need to learn) Thanks, enjoy the music.
