To get 17W per KT88 in SE, I think it must be pentode or ultralinear operation. Triode-connected in A1, I think a KT88 can only make 10-11W max (plated dissipation limit is 44W.) So it probably uses feedback, but that is still not automatically a bad thing. User-adjustable feedback is a lot like user-adjustable plate loading; it affects distortion and damping factor in a similar way, hence your TTH also.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
