In Reply to: Tube Distortion and Bias ... a perspective posted by Naz on July 7, 2006 at 08:45:29:
I usually listen to records with big orchestras and choirs like Wagner. I listened to live performances in the Bayreuth Festival theater from the early days of my life. There are sitting about 110 musicans in a partially closed orchestra pit, because Wagner didn't want to kill the voices of his singers. There are reached sound levels above 130dB in the pit. Belive me, I know the distortions of my ears very well. I never listened to a SE amp below 100W which can reproduce a sound close to a live performance, also with normal levels at home. A well done tube PP-amp with feedback comes closest acording to my ears, despite the fact that I am using AER speakers with a high sensivity. Also single instruments with a high spectral density like the cotrabass trombone (harmonical content up to 15kHz at a deep bass note of 50Hz) couldn't be reproduced by a sE amp. It sounds horrible with such an amp. The same with more than 30 violins playing the same note.
My experience is that an amp, that could play complex music, also could play more simple music. It is wrong vice versa.
