I don't even like SET, but I think the author of that is being a dick just for the sake of it. Their position shows that they don't really understand how amplifiers are measured, and their description of push-pull amplification is similarly poor.edit - I see my comments no longer apply as the offending paragraphs were deleted. However, I think that some of the original statements could have been rearranged into something meaningful. The high distortion is a result of how we measure SE amps - distortion is generally quite low at very low powers. Specifications (which sound so appalling) are given near clipping at 1% or 5% THD. With highly efficient speakers the SE amp will be operated in a more-linear range than that specification suggests, hopefully never reaching anything close to clipping.
