Tubes Transistors ===== =========== Typical distortion is not objectionable typical distortion is very objectionable very easy to maintain absolute and almost impossible. coherent phase accuracy. takes an exceptional designer. this does wonders for 3d immaging power costs much money and weight extra power is trivial for the same price, almost without exception, a better transistor unit can be made. very good in midrange on up. almost always best in (tight soggy bass. and dry) bass, midrange ++ tends twards sharp and twangy.

Try the Robertson Forty-Ten for an example of a really good Transistor amplifier, although it is a little poor in the bass. And some of the Audio Research are very good examples of the best of the tube side of the arguement.
