Non-feedback amplification topology and frequency


Is it true that non-feedback topology amplification is prone to frequency limitations if not matched with the absolute perfect speaker system?
I'm trying grasp how to get a flat sound from my very much loved new PL5. I have resorted to EQ, that never mentioned term on these forum, to bring back the ultra-highs of cymbals and bells etc. I've also rolled the pre-tubes and switched out my ICs. Still very much a frown freq graph.
I'm willing to get new speakers to help this amp deliver on its promises. Focal seem nicely high in sensitivity.

very interesting article. So mass market audio companies are watching out for their best interest buy supressing this information? If they switched to this better sounding amplification, it could ostensibly eliminate many speaker companies and even their own speakers from being useable? Thanks for finally putting an end to this mystery of why my tube amp was sounding dull. I brought it to a shop yesterday and heard it come to life with appropriate speakers. thanks again and very very impressive website. I look forward to hearing some of those amps one day.
Dracule I see this feedback issue hit a nerve as you started a whole new thread about essentially the same thing as this one. I'm quite ok now with Atmasphere's description of the facts and history of this topic. It is up to debate only whether or not you subjectively like the sound of what comes from feeback or not, and isn't that just taste in the end? I prefer vinyl because of the way my ear reacts...it sure isn't the highest quality choice in terms of specs. My original question was just, Do you need to be more carefull when selecting speakers with non feedback amps. Answered.
Today I am the happy owner of a beautiful pair of Cantons that are fully engaging and blow my old system away. It would be fun to play with the feedback knob on your amp though :)
