I will say that tubes sound better to me when being overdriven than solid
state... the distortion they produce seems to be less objectionable to my
subjective ears than that horrible SS noise.

And of course a tube amp is likely to be overdriven, generally being of
relatively low power output, whereas a solid state amp should never need to
be overdriven in the first place, with large power outputs available at
relatively low cost. (or extremely low cost when compared to most tube
amps!)
