There is some confusion of nomenclature because pentodes (and beam tetrodes) can be wired as triodes and will behave as such. There is no universal agreement on whether such amps are called SETs or SEPs.
Single-ended is in contrast to push-pull; almost all amps are either one or the other.
Triodes (and triode-wired pentodes) have a low output impedance and thus do not need negative feedback. Most but not all SETs are zero-feedback. Some triodes are directly-heated, and some are indirectly heated. This aspect is also not clear; sometimes the term SEDHT is used, but again not universally.
I am part of the Bottlehead team, so I can't volunteer information on specific products here, but I think it's OK for me to say we do offer SET headphone amps.
