First of all, this forum IS all about SETs. Your post is off-topic and likely to create a contentious thread. Perhaps that's what you were hoping for. Second, no push-pull amplifier equals the sonic qualities of a good SET, with the possible exception of push-pull Class A. Such amps may or may not be able to recreate the nuance of a SET, and one would probably need to audition hundreds of amps in double-blind testing to reach a valid conclusion. You haven't done that, and simply posting photos of antique amplifiers where they're not appropriate won't make your case. I can appreciate the beauty of those old amps and the joy of using them. Nevertheless, I'd much rather own and listen to high-quality SETs with a 211 or 845 than 80-year-old amplifiers designed before Hi-Fi was even a concept.
