Re; Dynamics, Class D vs tubes…


Class D amplification vs tube amplification, which is likely to be more dynamic at lower volume playback?   Assuming speakers that are more difficult to drive than average.  Let’s say, 4 ohms dipping to 3.2 ohms and running about 85 db efficient.

The Class D amps I've tried have been far more dynamic than my tube and Class A amps. But not more engaging, musical, sonorous, inviting, mellow, inviting, or lubricious.
