RE: No I won't talk about distortion...

And yet a good push/pull amp is probably more linear than an SET due to the non-symmetry of SET output into reactive loads like speakers,

Not subjectively and not as long as neither are overdriven into a compatible speaker.

I had one of the better push/pull triode amps, the VAC 30/30, and it was handily outperformed by several good SETs that I and my friends had on hand. I bought to try out the theory that a good push/pull triode amp would be as good or better sounding than a SET but sadly it just wasn't to be and I found the VAC better than just about every other PP amp I have heard, tube, hybrid or otherwise.
