I've always been a tube amp guy, but recently some Randall solid-state gear has piqued my curiosity. I'm hoping we have a resident SS expert that can help answer some questions.
Bear with my generalizations and lack of knowledge of SS amps...
Do solid state amps have to be run at high volume like tube amps generally do to "sound good"?
I've read that volume for equivalent wattages differ between solid state and tube amps (i.e. a 100 watt SS amp is about 1/3 the volume of a 100 watt tube amp). True?
Thanks.
