Well, I'll defend the 300b. I have owned and heard a number of amps that work with both, and for a long time was listening primarily to SET amps. For both SE and PP it all depends on the implementation. For me, the 300b has a much richer, and more interesting sound. I really like the SE 300b midrange. The 2A3 seems sort of boring in comparison.... I get good extension and bass with Thorsten's Legacy circuit and Tango XE603.5s transformers. The C3M drivers keep it lively. I am driving Lowther Acousta 115's with DX3's, Visaton super tweeters in my living room system. The same amps also did a nice job with Fulton FMI80's. I do like the sound of 45's though. On the other hand, for my Phy-hp's with Tonian tweeters, I listen to a Citation II!
