high power tube amps vs ss

Al, I am surprised that curiosity hasn't gotten the better of you.

I suppose then that the fact that my tube amp, although a simple ultralinear design, has very little feedback and thus sounds crisp and accurate...transient impact and overall tonal accuracy seem spot on so I have no complaints. It doesn't hurt that my mid woofer speakers are very small and light magnesium/aluminum things that don't take much to get going, and the REL sub keeps up fine. I know this news is a relief for those who worry about my having a satisfying hifi rig, and that caring and compassionate wave of real love is palpable. Thanks....really...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Science is not an absolute either. Did the scientists of a thousand years ago believe what the scientists do today? How about a thousand years from now? How is this so and do we know what we are actually measuring? Talk to a physicist. Everything is subjective and always will be. Best, real, accurate, etc. only have meaning between our ears. I prefer to try to think in terms of different and pleasing or not in regards to music. The best ss amps are often described as having tubelike qualities and visa versa. There's that word best again. Says more about the way we think than anything else.

Petepappp,
Audio and musical enjoyment is overwhelmingly subjective, people listen and either accept or reject.We just like what we like.This is why choices abound in all component catagories,something for everyone.
