Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic.


As everyone knows, tubes are expensive. Can a higher power SS substitute for this "subjective" magic. One reviewer said he made the transition and did not miss the tubes. What do you say? Let's try to keep the speaker variable out of this.

The answer is that this was a troll from the outset and you all are providing the entertainment that the OP sought in the first place.
FWIW there is something special I hear from tube amps that no SS amp has imitated. The answer is not slow, dark, warm to excess, rolled off, droopy, syrupy sound either, quite the opposite, I get crystalline top end, holographic imaging. and transparency. I will admit SS has generally better bass emphasis extension and control. That said my tube amps with my speakers deliver very satisfying bass never the less.
