I'm not a person who values soundstage or dynamics - for me it's all about the tonality of acoustic instruments - voice, Steinway, woodwind, drum kit....
Whenever I take out a DHT and put in an indirectly heated tube in its place, some of that wonderful DHT clarity and delicacy disappears and the sound thickens just a bit.
So in a small room and moderate levels I can use PSE 4P1L outputs with something like a type 26 driver. Just enough gain. But one indirectly heated tube I do like is the type 27 mesh. I can live with that.
Another view but I'm not alone.
