Well, like I said, I barely remember each of their respective sound sigs; but I did try the Bryston for a longer period with more tracks. The b22 was not balanced, whereas the bryston was. From what I remember, the Bryston was more transparent and imaged a bit better. I'm gonna have to compare again!

Thanks for the recommendations, I'll be doing a bit of research I guess. If I can get a worthwhile upgrade in sound over stock while maintaining tube budget under 500$, then I may just buy the WA22 and whatever other SS that synergizes well with the HD800
You say you liked the Bryston better than the Beta?

If you do you research, the upgrade tube are not that bad.
TS 5998 ~ 150/pair
Treasure ~ 150/pair
USAF 596 ~ 40/each
My preference for HD800 with budget
GEC 6080 or TS 5998
TS 6F8G
USAF 596 or EML 5U4G
Money no object
GEC 6AS7G
TS 6SN7 BGRP
USAF 596 or EML 5U4G
