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

"Just the measurements" -Surely you jest!

And also: which measurements? THD,IMD, Bandwidth? Slewing rate?
Standard measurement protocols take one not very far in terms of
explaining many subjective sonic attributes. As far as the "wisdom of
the designers" well -- there are several well-respected designers
present in this forum, and you might be suprised at what they'll
tell you about this.

Remember, most $100 car-stereo amplifiers measure far "better"
in terms of the standard lab audio measurement protocols than
about ANY SET you will find. I wonder why everyone here does
not just run-down and grab one of those for their listening
room and dump the expensive SET???

See the stereophile.com article "God is in the Nuances" by Markus
Sauer --search for it in their online archives. This would probably
be a good introduction for you regarding the measurements/sonics
issue.

Good Luck,
