Do distortion 's affect enjoyment of speaker?

Complicated topic. There's no doubt that tube amplification introduces significant distortion, yet many people prefer it to solid state. When comparing solid state designs, its never been proven that distortion relates in any meaningful way to musicality or enjoyment. However, low distortion has become perhaps the major selling point for many manufacturers of high priced solid state equipment. But the way different manufacturers define and measure distortion will probably never be standardized.
Bottom line: Subjectivity reigns supreme.
