Adrian, I agree that SETs generally have issues such as you describe, and moreso the small ones, especially at the frequency extremes, and at saturation, which tends to occur all too soon, IMO.  But I have not sourced these problems back to the 6SN7, or even the 6SN7/2A3 pairing, which I find capable of great contrasts, at least within the all-too-obvious limitations of the small SET.  Are your amps Wright SETs?  I enjoyed my time with those amps, found more to like than dislike, apart from the power limits/struggles with my present speakers.
Well Paul, these are not Wright amps.  I put these together myself.  The characteristic may be more the circuit than the tubes?  I haven't played around so much with this aspect to know.  Just my observation.

Sometimes my time will come and some of you will try the 6E5P as a driver, properly used. Then, if this person has a sensitivity and rudimental audio intelligence to recognize some unique 6E5P’s sonic signatures then he will find interested to reread what I have written about the sound of this tube in past. Who, knows, perhaps then the terms like “dynamic viscosity” would sound not so alien for the 6E5P-evolved…
  Well, and I have a dozen of them sitting here next to my desk while I am building my Milq amp s-l-o-w-l-y so I guess I will discover my audio intelligence level sometime after the New Year.
