Would You Rather Own A Good SET Amp, Or A Great Push Pull Amp?

Again, per the speaker manufacturer, either will work well with the speakers I have. 

I have loved SETS for a long time, but I simply cannot afford a "great SET". And, being retired, never will. 

I have no opportunity to listen to the specific push pull amp I am considering, but did hear its predecessor at an audio show, quite some time ago, and was left amazed. I am absolutely certain, based on a great deal of research, further show reports,  and many specific reasons, that it is unquestionably world class. 

It depends on the amp in question and matches with the speakers. Currently using 2a3 SET monos but I've used and loved PP amps as well.

Have to go with great over good. 

Whichever sounds better / more to your taste. Sorry, that may sound unhelpful. But I never make decisions on technology.  Any component is the product of the design vision and components. If you can't hear them then do a number of AI searches comparing the sound quality of the two. Read reviews. 

I have an amp that operates in linear and triode mode (no secret Audio Research REF 160s). The difference is small but important... I always run it in triode mode. I would have still ended up with this amp even if it only had one mode. 

Best of both worlds and the New Pathos Inpol amp uses the vacuum tube as part of the gain stage and also in pure class A  in a true dual mono design ,

I am evaluating Amp's at the current time.

I have high efficiency Speakers for the SET Amp' which are also experienced being driven by what I will class as an exceptional PP Amp'.

A SS Neurochrome Monoblock Design Amp' is currently available to be tried.

In comparisons between the PP and SET, on the Speakers selected, the SET has blown me away, where making a good impression is part of the assessment both Amp's are parity.

More evaluations using a Analogue and Digital Source are to continue.

I believe the SET has a place in my system.

I'm keen to learn what the N'chrome is able to create in my own system, as all other demo's of different N'chrome Models used in different systems, when being compared to other Amp's has ended with the N'chrome being the star with the X Factor.

Definitely a great PP over a good SET. 1) great is better than good, 2) compatability with a SET is a loaded term--no manufacturer wants to turn away a customer if it sort of works, and 3) more people than you would think clip their SETs (and other low power amps) and don't recognize it.

I have both: three Single End tube amps and several PP amps. The latter have the best sound and versatility for use with a variety of speakers. The SE amps require proper speaker matching and are limited in power/watts. SE amps are not inherently better sounding.
