I believe the whole idea is to give the amplifier a certain 'flavour' . Not only does the inadequately filtered , higher impedence supply give it's own heavy footprint but also the driver . The driver usually being a flimsy device with inadequate current to drive the output stage anywhere near 0 grid volts so the asymmetric clipping not that much of an 'issue' . You get the bandwidth back with the wiring , or so I'm told...
Tons of distortion , rolled off due to the driver and much lower power . May as well use a type 45/4P1L and a higher ratio OPTX IMO for the same output power . If people like the sound of such amplifiers , good on them but I usually prefer in the amplifier as a whole , the output transformer to be the limiting factor
