I get a lot of readings when it comes to single ended triode on how good it sounded and yet there are push pull followers who swear by it that push pull can better the SET with the advantage of cheaper valves and cheaper speakers (no need to go high efficiency speakers, usually costing more)?

my sincere apologies for the faux pas.

however, when my other music genre i..e chill out music, downtempo jazz, rock and house music kicked in....well, let's just say, i had to turn the volume down and change the music...the slam and dynamic kick is non-existent, i miss my active PA rig..
this last observation is with conventional dynamic speakers...high-efifciency horns are another matter...

Can you stretch the power a little farther say 10 for the 2A3 and 20watts for the 300B while still mentaining the sound quality of the lesser watts design? At least this can bring more ooomph to their existing speakers specially mine.

Especially the "have both" part

I am begining to understand I can't compare just like that unless I have some criteria first. Like the Ferrari and the Muscle car or the SUV. I am begining to understand my initail question in this thread has no premise at all and comparing them is not appropriate. ...... enjoyed and learned from your comments. thanks.
