I’m Single-Ended Triode. I also like mechanical watches. I have a SS amp down below for the family system. Like a mechanical watch - it wins before turning it on. I am enjoying my wife coming up to my cave to hear the music she can’t hear on the SS. To be fair, I spent 10X as much on it. Just like my watches.
Edit - add:
@15W/channel - I am near field, but never go above 30% dial. I have run Martin Logan 35XT and not Watkins gen four (wow). No issues with power. Pushing ribbon, I understand I need more power. So not pushing ribbon.
