Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ?


In my case, VAC Avatar SE integrated 60 watt/ch in ultralinear mode feels like double the power at least. Same speakers, same source, same cables and power cords.

@inna - how do you calibrate "same volume"? Literally 1% of sensitivity difference makes it well audible. And yes, tube distortions add to the sound.
