What is the magic behind SET


I am newly converted tube devotee. But have been currious about the SET configuration. Could you please shed some light on the topic also in comparison with 300b's. Many thanks in advance

In addition to the above one of the qualities I enjoy most from SET amps is something called "flow" or "continuity." The music has a more natural and continuous flow to it that you don't notice is not there in most components until you hear it there in a SET amp. This quality makes the music more enjoyable and also easier to relax into the performance. One of the elements that leads to this impression is the decay of notes is more natural in SET (and some tube) amps. I currently have an 845 SET that is simply wonderful.

I only wish these amps were not so hot and heavy!
