I have as I built two such designs in monoblocks. Both use quality MQ iron and simular PS of LCLC to another LC for the small signal tubes. One is PPP 45s & other is triode connected PPP 6V6s.Both are excellent amps with surprisingly simular sound. I and others give the PPP 6V6s a slight edge in dynamics. Both amps play complex music well.
Comparing the PPP designs to my DIY low voltage SET 845 with Plitron audio transformers, I will give an adge to the PP designs on more complex music. But, that 845 SET has more of an open sound in the mids that is stunning.
I also found out my ProAc speakers were less than great with new DIY 2.5 way speakers. Guess I am not finished here, perhaps never will be finished until my ears give out.
