Charles1dad,
Thank you for pointing out the Manley PSET-PP amp that can operate both topologies,. I do wonder, however, if it can really deliver optimal performance for both types, particularly because of the specific demands for a good SET transformer. Because the full DC current drawn by the output tube must flow through the primary of the output transformer, the transformer must be designed to handle this current without core saturation. This requirement is usually met by an air gap in the magnetic circuit, which results in reduced inductance which can be compensated for with more iron and more turns in the primary. These compensatory measures would not be as desirable for PP operation.
I do wonder if this type of convertible amp is somewhat like an amphibious car--it can be both a car and a boat, but it does neither very well.
