RE: Your premise

Well, the point is that when you have one push-pull pair per channel no matching whatsoever is necessary. Ok - that's not quite true - you still have the pair itself.

But when you have that last bit of air flowing through the trumpet, decaying into silence, is it better to have the signal going through 10 pairs, or one?

(And yes then we can go one step further and assert that single-ended (with one device) should be even better.)

I'm just musing here. I am not a designer. My technical knowledge is limited. But I know, for example, that in the world of DHSETs, paralleling tubes is widely thought to carry a detriment, and I agree. And the same goes for paralleled pairs in push-pull valve amps as well. Then again, because tubes drift, the problem would seem to be much greater there.

I was just after some opinions, so thank you.
