Why do we want to distortions?

So I read, Tube amplifiers sound better because of the euphonic distortions they add to the music.
I thought we were trying to avoid distortions. What makes euphonic distortions sound better?

From what I've experienced, tube amps don't like low impedance. Yes newer speakers typically have lower impedance than older ones, but tubes play well with 8 ohms or more. Are there speakers after 1965 that have 8 ohm or higher impedance, yes.
