A watt is a watt. The only sonic give away occurs when a tube amp is clipped. You can make a solid state amp sound like a tube amp with less than $1 in parts.

Sorry Nelson, I agree with some things you say, but to say that tube amps and solid state amps sound the same is preposterous. There are even differences between differing amps. For example, a Parasound 125wpc THX Ultra2 certified amp sounds very different from a Naim of similar power. A Rogue Audio tube amp (very solid state sounding) sounds completely different from an Innersound or Shanling.
