Tube amps do sound very nice... and even when pushed hard, their soft
clipping keeps the sound much more listenable. A well-designed solid state
amp is technically better sounding, but the human ear can easily hear it's
harsh clipping when driven hard. That has a lot to do with why many people
prefer tube amps.
