I have always had a simplistic view of thermonic devices compared to their SS brothers. The valve amplifier simply provides Harmonic distortion closer to the root than other methods of amplification.
Triodes, off the shelf, are more linear and Pentodes can be tamed to provide a marvelous sound with a little feedback particularly if the feedback is limited to the output section.
SE and PP are a matter of taste. I use both because I like both.
No argument is needed. Everyone has their own ears. You can't convince someone of anything with measurements.
