I went from Fisher and Scott integrated to Dyna, Heath, Eico to HK.Started modifying these.
My long time power amp was a highly modified Citation 2.
From there I built my own version of the Atma-Sphere M60 OTL.
Too hot for the So. Cal. summers so I built a PP 6b4g amp just to get me through the summer.
I never looked back, I knew DHTs were the way to go.
I then built a PP 300b amp using the HK Citation 2 output transformers.
That was a great amp.
I had heard SET amps but they never had great highs.
One day I was talking to Jack Elliano (ElectraPrint). I told him I had never heard SET. He said "you're kidding?"
I had to explain that IMO hearing a system at a show etc was not the same thing as hearing it in your own space with your own records....etc
He said he'd send me a pair of his new partial silver single ended output transformers. (smart guy, he knew once I had them and had built an amp for them I would buy them. He was right)
I have since built a pair of SET 6b4g amps that in some ways sound better.
I don't think I'll ever go back to PP. I know I'll never go away from DHTs.
