in discussing this at present is we are thinking in arbitrary absolutes: EE vs. artisan. Thing is, to design and build a functioning SE amp one needs some degree of EE's knowledge. Conversely, EEs also need some degree of the artistic when making subjective decisions. These two broad dimensions will vary in strength and balance in each person.Examples:
Jeff & Dennis have read some texts though perhaps do not have the understanding required to consider and implement certain options the EEs may. OTOH, perhaps Jeff & Dennis have enough knowledge to design and builds a competent amp and then without the constraint of 'accepted approach' and through some creative experimentation have discovered an alternative approach to some aspects of design. They are still refining their approaches and can not fully explain them, yet they have been found to offer some promise...Cheers
