Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Audio Note Empress Silver Monoblocks

I both disagree and agree with you both.

I reckon tube manufacturer plays a majority part in the sonics of modern tubes, perhaps moreso than the types themselves, especially 45/2A3/300B types. Pick gross sonics by manufacturer, then choose the tube with the desired power (and voice accordingly).

As for skilled designer bringing out the best, well, of course. Frankly, most designs I see are more about decent-enough performance at a certain price point, while making an acceptable (or better) margin. "Best", within financial (and practical) constraints.

Cheers,
