It's decent in a pinch. Will clip on some tracks even at low volume. I remind myself this is all a temporary experience.

An excellent mindset. 
 
I am sure you also quickly go to just enjoying the music and stop thinking about the equipment.

i thought you just needed balance source for WA22.
 
 
would u describe the WA22 as a warm amp or a dynamic and forward amp like the WA6-SE, thats like my biggest concern. jack says its less dynamic and the most euphonic amp in the series, alot of reviews though say its forward in the mids and stuff though.

 
WA22 response very well with tube selections, it can be very tubey or dynamic and forward but not quite as WA6SE.  If I have to pick a word, romantic, is how I will describe WA22.

I think it was worth it for the HD800s, but not so much for the T1s. Overall I was happy I made the move up.
 
Here is my favourite tube compliment for it:
 
Power: Tung-Sol 7236s
Driver: Sylvania Brown Base 5962s
Rectifier: EML 5U4G Mesh Plate

hmm. well thats good, but the t1's don't sound worse out of WA22 right? 
 
i'm sure ill enjoy the hd 800 and lcd-2 if i get the wa22, just don't want to lose that t1/wa2 magic.

 
DG, with the tubes you have now your HD800 will kick ass with WA22.

I had the T1, HD800, LCD-3 when I owned my WA22. Of the three, I would have to give the nod to the LCD-3 for the most enjoyment with it.

Plenty with 5998 and 7236 but not quite as good as more powerful amp like beta22 and other SS amps but it does drive it really well as long as you are feeding some hot balanced in.

One thing DG, the GEC 6AS7G is not the best tube for WA22 if you are using LCDs.  The TS 7236 is much better match, it is better than TS 5998 by a little too, it is subtle but you can definitely tells.

The WA22 is the amplifier for the LCDs, my LCD3 loves it. It can't power a HE6 however though the 500 is fine. It is the 'alrounder' of the team and does a good job across the board, the LCD3 struggle a bit in the WA2. The WA2 OTL has some special abilities and this is where the synergy on the 800 (and T1) works so well. I do feel the WA22 needs a balanced source and balanced headphones to get the best out however. I currently use some TS 7236s in my WA22 where the GECs are in the WA2 though it is no problem putting the same tube in different amps for testing. The 800 can be made to work well in both amps.
