===== ===========
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.

P.S. 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.
