Why they have so many tubes and why their prices are (excessively) high?
One would think after 117 years of evolution (1904, invention of the vacuum tube) and with only 4 other components involved (R, C, L, transformer) engineers would have reached the optimal configuration for a tube amplifier by now.
But there’s another ’science’ involved. It’s called Marketing ... the art of tempting people to spend top dollar.
