tube amps sounding like solid state and vv


Hi folks, there are manufacturers who make tube (pre)amps that sound like solid state. There are also manufacturers who make solid state (pre)amps that sound like tubes. My question is: why would a tube amp manufacturer make tube amps that sound like solid state? I mean: what is the point of doing such a thing?

Mapman, it depends on the speakers. For example, something like a 16 Ohm speaker load might be better served by a tube amp.
