Is the Phile sound an Aquired taste.

Is the SET sound, one that needs to be developed to be appreciated?
Some of us prefer the purist triode SET sound. I chose amps that run in parallel push pull mode. I find it richer, fuller and more dynamic, than the Phile SET sonic. For me it is a naturally compelling. It is as if it was there is a loudness compensator providing more bass and midbass which is turned on. Some might say that such sound is euphonic and has coloration. Do you agree that there is an audiophile sonic and if so is it naturally preferable or has to be aquired ?

I agree that most SET's lack the sparkling highs and deep full bass. And it seems that those extentions are something very important to you.
I have an SET that does it all. The rich, beautiful midrange and the powerful bass and sparkling highs.
The Almarro A318B amp is one you must try before placing all SET's into the catagory of no dynamics.
Check out the reviews and give one a try. It'll change your mind about SET's.
