My education is just fine and still prefer the sound of one these obsolete designs to a mass market sub $1000 amp. For reasons of sound preference and not the engineering behind it, I'll take a good SET any day.
I make my own amps of a wide variety of configurations, I can understand the electrical principals involved and yet I still listen to SETs. Go figure.

You and many others like the sound of vintage SET's. I like vintage 1960s PP amps. But sonically accurate they are not.
And this constant drivel buy a few here to make these hobby projects the second comming is getting ridiculous.
"You and many others like the sound of vintage SET's. I like vintage 1960s PP amps. But sonically accurate they are not."
Sonically the ear/brain is far more complex than the oscilloscopes and digital FFT software that you would use to define accurate. Accurate to a meter is not necessarily accurate to a listener. You should acquaint yourself with psychoacoustic studies.
If I want sonically accurate, I have to go to a live performance because no amount of money spent or equipment bought is going to get close.
I hear very few people speak of how wonderful their room treatments are and yet they could get a much larger bang for the buck by getting their room treatments in order. I'm not talking about small stones or stick on dots either. I mean real sound absorption and diffraction in correct proportion. That can do more to improve your at home sound quality than a new pair of $1000 tubes or multiple bypassed caps ever will.
I guess that's off topic because this is tube DIY not the sound quality forum:)
