It really depends on what SET amp and speaker combination you put together. With the right 300B amp, and high sensitivity speakers, the 300B can play most genre's of music very well, much depends on the amps power supplies.
A good SET 300B will deliver a high quality of music not made with EL 34 amps. The EL 34 can make very good sounding music, but I believe the best of them still fall short of what a good 300B can do.
I was switching back and forth between an SET 300B, and a VAC PA 35.35, that was factory-upgraded, and had all NOS tubes (Telefunken small tubes and Mullard ouput tubes).
I got a great deal more enjoyment from the SET 300B, so I just sold the VAC.
This has been my experience, for what it's worth.
