type of distortion (harmonic pattern) is suboptimal with push/pull due to even order cancellation. Additionally, most A/B and A PP tube amps still use negative feedback that further pushes the harmonic distortion pattern further away from an optimal pattern.
So, more distortion, usually, but the pattern is less optimal.
No amplifier is linear so the pattern becomes paramount with regards to audibility.
