Honestly, I think slaving sounds the best, even over just diming an amp. A lot of that may be because I use EVM 12Ls and don't use speaker breakup as an intricate part of my tone. And any power tube cooking you get with being able to turn the amp up while attenuating is partial lost through an attenuator - at least to my ears. With slaving I don't hear any loss. Of course it would be amp/power amp dependent - but one of the best tones I have ever heard is my cranked SLO (around 6-7) slaved through a VHT Classic. YMMV
