Why buy Tube amps versus a transitor amp?

[Ajani]

Would this be a lot different than all those speakers that have plate amps driving their own woofers? I'm sure it's not easy to get right, but who does things the easy way around here?

I doubt it would be much different, nor do I think it would be too much different from speakers that use totally different materials for tweeters, mids and woofers (such as aluminum, kevlar and paper)... It's just my opinion, but I've never found such combinations wholly convincing....

I'm sure it's a two edged sword. Harder to do, but more flexable if done right.
