Vintage gear in general needs recap. The old capacitors are leaky. Out of spec is what makes it sound "inaccurate"
The MC240 has fuller sound in mids compared to the modern tube amps at the same power level. If recap properly, it can have the same high and low frequency extension as modern amp. I have not heard of Audio Note 6L6 type of amp so I can't make a direct comparison. In my system, compared to Vac and Bat, it does have nicer sound in mid range. I like the VTLs more than Vac and Bat.
MC240 is point to point which is easier repair. The only problem you might have is finding the original coupling capacitors.
