I can relate to Teajay's definition. For me speed implies how well the amp can portray the leading edge of a note, i.e., the attack. And how much it handles the stacatto qualities of intricate piano and guitar playing. I have yet to hear a tube amp that does this even remotely as impressive as the CAT JL2 and JL3.
I do not see how a bright or forward sounding amp can have any relation to speed. I have heard many such products and they smeared the details as well which implies a very poor response time. A Classic example of this is no pun intended, the ARC Classic 150 amps.
