What makes different amps produce different sound?


I think many of us know and undertand how various components in a 2-channel or HT system have an effect on sound output. While I understand the undr the hood workings of pre-amps, sources, and speakers, I know very little about amps. Obviously, there's more to amps then type (tube vs. SS) and power ouput.

I've done a web search for a good resource on amplifiers but haven't come across anything of value. Anyone know of a site that describes the theory behind amp design and its various components? Also, since there is a degree of subjectivity that accompanies amp performance, what aspects of your amp of choice contribute most to its performance?

I think it was Art Dudley who suggested that the color of the face plate had an effect on the sound of amps and preamps.
