Yes, they can sound better. They don't have all that iron to contend with. My Viking 2 used to saturate somewhere in the midrange frequencies once I de'hyellified it. I used to have to notch down that frequency range via the EQ to get it to sound decent. All in all it sounded pretty good though. Also ran the audio throgh a broadcast quality AM compressor/limiter. The rig used to look great on the scope, plenty of nice clean positive peaks. The Valiant was another story. Nice when it was working but it used to crap out on me quite often.
