Pix," I must say I get a bit amazed hearing you can tell my amp is no good just by knowing what general type of topolgy it has. "
Not amazing at all. You may have 45 years, but Pix, I grew up listening to a pair of ALTEC 604 Bs sixty two years ago - in my parent's Recreation Room. I built my first DIY DHT 2A3 amp in 1982.
I came to the conclusion by now, ( from my direct listening experience on high efficiency speakers ), no one will do better than a PROPERLY made two stage DC SE amp, typically with a mu of 100 driver tube, connected to the grid of either a Type 45 or a 2A3. Others, may have to learn that, assuming they knew how to build the amp really well. Often that is a large assumption, from what I see.
IMHO, amps, not speakers, are the weak link in audio, " the turkeys " and in high efficiency audio particularly. YMMV, this is perfectly OK with me !! Have fun.
