That means a 50 watt SS amplifier will do better at 35

I wholly agree. However what happens when both are asked
to deliver 2000 watts?
You fry the speaker.
And, in the case of his little 20 watt tube amplifier, even if there was
that much energy in the power supply and the plate resistance were
damned near 0, the output transformers would have long since
saturated.
I believe the tubie argument is that between being able to put out say 80
watt peaks and the euphonic nature of tube clipping, the 20 watt amp could
be asked to deliver 2000 watt peaks every few milliseconds, and the
listeners would be pleased.
Get real!
He can't: his argument falls apart, and he can't have that, can he?
I think that "Bret Ludwig" is just another alias for a Luddite troll that's
been around here for years. So, not even the poster is real.
