Hey, thanks a lot for your kind words!
If anybody wonders which I kept, BTW - the answer is: both. I have given up choosing between them.

i'd probably go for the DNA Stratus 2A3 or the WA5 (though the WA5 is more expensive cause i would want the full speaker version, not the LE).
i have no plans of selling either of my amps though, they sound so good. thats why i ended up buying spare tubes instead (extra 596, extra tung sol 5998s, extra driver tubes)...

i have come across that DNA before, i don't know if i like the look of it or not but maybe the pics just dont do it justice. Do you know of anyone who owns or has heard the woo monoblock?
this is off the point now - sorry guys.

On the WA5 I have read several places that it doesnt to optimal with orthos, yet others seem to be very happy about it (like Davis Mahler - ref his momentus comparative review... )

lol - I guess you hade the 6SE and the 2 and thought he 22 would replace them both?
May I ask you about the 6SE ad the 22 - how do they compare - I thought they'd be quite similar?
