Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers
I found this really good link regarding the differences:
https://www.caryaudio.com/2018/06/04/vacuum-tube-vs-solid-state/
I've heard some (who are much more knowledgeable than me) say that a tube amp and solid state amp which are rated at the same output power in practice will not drive a speaker to the same level, that in selecting amplifier power levels, you would get similar results from lower powered tube amps.
I thought it would be interesting to see what those who know much more about this subject would contribute to this discussion.

@earlflynn Look at the M40.1's impedance. https://www.stereophile.com/content/harbeth-m401-loudspeaker-measurements It may be specc'd at 86dB, but the impedance averaged over the whole frequency range is actually well over 8 ohms. |
