Solid states more accurate than tubes?


Ever since I changed speakers from a pair of Maggie's to Proac's, I find the tonal balance more accurate with a ss, especially acoustic wood instruments. Tubes seem to lack that tonal accuracy. I believe it's a more realistic and accurate rendering. Is that a fair assessment? I'm not arguing tubes don't sound good with it's rich, warm sound but just not as accurate.

Yeah its a well known fact SS is more accurate. Duh. Just look at the graphs. Tubes are expensive fancy short-lived tone controls. The warmth is all distortion anyway.

Probably a few more cliches I left out but that should cover it.
