Hi, .....

Well designed class AB amps can sound really nice as well, but I have seen none without negative feedback that do so. IMO NFB alters the sound...in hard to define ways and is a cause for considerable consternation in the audio field. Lots of arguments on it. A SE amp can work either way...but then they are all class A.
I know what you mean. I have heard enough PP AB1 amps over the decades,
that very very few are truly accurate/natural.

That is why I have designed my own monoblock PP AB1 amps, in triode mode,
No global negative feedback. Took some 30 years R&D, but found them to
be superior to SETs (with their inherent problems), and nearly perfect via specialized listening tests.
(I am tempted to say perfect, that close.)

It can be quite superior. Sorry if I sound argumentative, don't mean to be.
