Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic.

Who would've guessed, a thread about SS vs. tubes. Another thread where things get contetious and Bill is in the middle of it. Another thread where things make no sense at all and Tvad trys to reason for us. And another senseless thread forwarded by Orpheus in his endearing passive/agressive fashion. Who says that history doesn't repeat itself?

Oh, and another post where Marty is a surly ass.

Audiofeil

This would be a good time to let people know that you are a dealer.

I wish you could 'leave the speakers out of it'.
Sorry, no can do. What you get as sound is not just 'amp' or 'speaker', but the combo. Happy combo makes good sound. mating a speaker with hi impedance swings and huge phase angles on even the best tube amp will probably result in unhappy. Likewise, a good, well executed SDFR design may be happier with tubes.
It's all about that mystical term....'synergy'.

Sounds_real_audio, why should Bill let everyone know that he is a dealer if he not only hasn't endorsed any products in the thread, but hasn't even forwarded a strategy for building a system. In fact, he hasn't done anything except get into the fray. There's no commerical gain in that, nor is there any bias involved.
