Good thoughts, Martin! i do agree with all of them. I think your observation that the low damping factor is what makes tube amps more sensitive to change is insightful, as opposed to euphonic distortion. Also, having more power is probably a good thing, all else being equal of course.
Here is one extension:
1. Given that tube amps will work well with some speakers and SS with other speakers, maybe it's the SPeaker/amp COMBO that makes the difference. In other words, the interaction effects between tube amps' low damping and the highish sensitivities and flat impedances of the speakers that work with them as a COMBINATION may produce better (meaning more realistic) sound than the SS amps / high Q speakers combo. In general that is. What do you think? -akhilesh
