Taking up atmasphere's point and changing the question. Is it always true that the compromises envolved in making an amp adjustable between Triode and Pentode, mean they will perform worse than an amp optimised for triode or pentode only?
To answer my question and having spoken to a few tube amp designers, it is my belief, that the compromises do, inevitably, have some effect on performance.
