To me, I cant see any difference in the action of a triode or a transistor
if the transistor is biased correctly.
The main difference is the way the collector/drain/plate current varies with
collector/drain/plate voltage for fixed bias. The solid state devices are
nearer to pentode characteristics in this respect - until you get to sub-micron
CMOS run in weak inversion, where they are nearer triodes. That condition
certainly doesn't apply to power amplifiers - which in this case, means
anything
over 100 microwatts! (Yes, I do mean microwatts!)
