Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers


I found this really good link regarding the differences:

https://www.caryaudio.com/2018/06/04/vacuum-tube-vs-solid-state/

I've heard some (who are much more knowledgeable than me) say that a tube amp and solid state amp which are rated at the same output power in practice will not drive a speaker to the same level, that in selecting amplifier power levels, you would get similar results from lower powered tube amps.

I thought it would be interesting to see what those who know much more about this subject would contribute to this discussion.

It would be hard to find a more dedicated tube guy. For decades, all I wanted to listen to was SETs. 300B and 45. Nothing was more musical and enjoyable. Nothing until AGD. I don’t miss the SET sound at all. In fact, I will never go back to tubes at all. After 50 years of audiophilia constantly upgrading I am done. Especially my amps… never any other then AGD.
AGD Audions has been around since 2018. If it was ALL that the word would have spread like wildfire and all the reviewers would have kept their Demo’s for 50% off. Doesnt appear any did that reading the reviews. Seems like the same 3 guys just keep "pounding the table" on multiple threads here. Call me skeptical. Do you guys get a commission??
okay…dude you’re overly skeptical. Why don’t you audition a pair of AGD AUDION monoblocks to see what the fuss actually is? NO one amp or company is “best” but the enthusiasm from various listeners who were die-hard tube/SET lovers should tell you SOMETHING. Good Luck 
Many reasons why I wouldnt.  3 guys in 4 years is hardly what I would call a fuss/buzz.  Never even heard of this brand prior to the last month or so...and only here on Audiogon.

The OCD guy is your Distributor?? Seriously?? The Face of your brand/product is THAT guy? If the product is so outstanding REAL Audio Distributors would be lining up for a piece of the action. Every watch those YOUTUBE Vids??  The Amps are scratched to hell. Looks like somebody took some 240 Grit Sandpaper to them. Again...THATS how you want YOUR product to look that your trying to sell to the public??  Like the amps got in the middle of a Cat Fight?  Even unscratched those things are totally unattractive...to me anyway.  Hope he's got a Black option that doesnt show fingerprints/scratches.

  Whats the Resale value on these??  Think you can get 50% of your money back if you wanted to unload them?  I doubt it.  If Im gonna buy a Ultra Boutique brand I would stick to something like Bakoon. At least the downside is limited to around 20-25% when flipping.
The tube vs SS debate is older than this forum! And it was worn out when it arrived here. Only thing you have to know is: Tubes rule!
