Rough efficiency numbers. Supply, regulators, driver and filament power are all extra...SE 10-15%
PP, class A 20-30%
PP, class AB 50-60%SE is inherently class A. Both SE and PP class A consume maximum
power all the time. In fact, their efficiency goes up the more output power they produce...
Class AB consumes power on demand and would run much cooler, on the average. Now, which one would you rather have...If you're going for the sonics and are willing to "take the heat"
then your best bet is a large single tube in SE, IMO. To my ears, parallel tubes are not as coherent as a single one.
I've also heard extremely refined PP amps, like Lynn Olson's Amity.
Check it out.
