So although the SR-L700 sounded more balanced to you than the SR-009 and SR-007 from those particular STAX amps, would you say that the SR-L700 from the STAX amp(s) sounded better to you in any way than the SR-009 and SR-007 from the best amps? (I don't recall which ones you've used.) As far as tonal balance goes, this isn't as much of an issue for me, due to the fact that a parametric equalizer will do more to achieve an accurate frequency response than anything else. I prefer to focus on aspects you can't tweak with EQ.
I wouldn't dare speculate on how the L700 would sound on amps I'm familiar with. (e.g. my opinions vary most of the folks that post here - I think the SR-009 is a real sloth driven by the SRM-007tA, and much better on the SRM-727A. Likewise, I feel the/DonnyHifi's KGST decently nice over the SRM-727a but not as glorifying as how I've read about it on the forums here & elsewhere. I however do agree the/Arnaud's XF4 driven BHSE stands on its own). I have an Electra with XF2 on the output stage (Tung Sol & Electro Harmonix 6SN7s in the 2nd & 1st stages respectively).
Personally, I don't EQ.
