However...a well-designed SET can have wide bandwidth as well - and a well-designed push-pull amp can have great pureness of tone.
IMHO, each amp must be taken on its own merits based on listening, not based on reading its design parameters.
As an example...I've not heard better pureness of tone in the SET's I've heard than in the Shindo CC80 (which is push-pull).

I see you are in Montreal. Do you have any experience with the Shindo dealer there, Coup de Foudre? Planning on visiting and stopping in to audition some shindo pieces.
