Great responses (wow, Sean), if I may say. Just to add on ss vs. tubes, mentioned above: tubes have high voltage-low current operation and thereby sound more "forgiving" in extreme driving situations than ss (lower voltage-higher current) i.e., the *voltage* requirement is rarely surpassed by the sudden dynamics, say, in an orchestral piece (but the current is!!!).
Speaking of orchestra: I've seen dB change from 25-70 on orchestral music (same volume setting, ofcourse). Rock can be more forgiving -- unless you have electronically generated sounds (at 20Hz, 35kHz, etc) that can be very difficult to amplify...
Cheers!
