Ever do a non balanced 2 and 22 comparison?  Or did your sentence above sum that up?
 

Not a side-by-side but having now spent time with both I can't say there is a notable difference between the non-balanced output but it could be the 22's mids are a tad more present but without having both amps in front of me I can't say for certain.

Is the WA22 feed with balanced input?  I notice there is a big difference with SE and balanced input on the WA22, even with SE out with HD800.

The WA22 has two pair of input, balanced 3 pix XLR and unbalanced RCA. My balanced source is a Cambridge DacMagic, the unbalanced is a Yamaha SACD player.

DM has se outputs too I assume, can you hook it up and do a quick toggle test?

WA5LE can drive speakers, just need an adapter to go from 4pin xlr to speakers. Set output to low impedance, which is 8ohm, exactly the same as WA5 dedicated speakers output.
