Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Tube amp clipping is akin to compression......

I conceptualise like this:

> Power & Efficiency (plus a few other factors) determine volume
> The sense of dynamics and vitality (within volume limitations) are down to other design factors... though increasing power can sometimes partially compensate.

Thankfully, I don't enjoy listening to music in my home at live levels, so I can compromise on power while saving my hearing to enjoy the occasional live gig. Still, I like a sense of vitality in music - the system still needs to be designed to achieve this.

Cheers,
91.
