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

RE: Frequency Response

When SETs first hit the American scene some 25 years ago, the conventional wisdom was deeply disturbed. It had long been accepted that the best amps had flat response, zero distortion, and zero output impedance. An early reaction was to "explain" their attraction by pointing to the change in frequency response. As I recall, the stated motivation for a speaker impedance model was to show that effect.

I suspect there was also an unacknowledged motive to show how awful the frequency response and distortion was, and push back on what seemed a ridiculous fad.
