Woo Audio WA6 / WA2 / WA22 / WA5 / WA23 / WA33 / WA234 thread

Quoting some WA22 chats from the source help thread to get you started (but yeah, click through and read the thread as well):

@M0N

Generally the wa22 is cleaner and more techincal with a bit more tightness, but does have a bit more of a midrange focus than the wa8. Still has the woo house sound, but a bit less thickly laid on than the wa8, more able when it comes to things like control, speed, general technical ability. But I haven’t heard a wa22 in awhile

@M0N

Surprised people still think of wa22 given it’s age, but at a similar price point, something that’s transformer coupled and works well with planar, and close in sq I think of the cayin ha-6a, a&s mogwai se or kenzie ovation, toolshed darling, dragon inspire iha-1 w/ lundahl, icon hp 205d, wolf ear makoyi, auris ha2 se or sf, decware taboo mk4, and then some older competitors that aren’t exactly around anymore or options that are OTL or hybrid

For a bit more money (but still under 3.5k ish) but reasonably a step ahead I think of modwright tryst, halgorythme bloc stereo se 2a3 2 x 6w, eddie current studio b or balancing act, allnic hpa-3000 gt, and a few others that might be too hard to find
