-and it matters not whether the amp is tube, solid state or class D. You can see this in the specs- distortion is always lower into higher impedances.
The distortion is usually higher ordered harmonics, which are very audible to the human ear as brightness and hardness.
Of course transistor amps don't make as much power, but they become easier to listen to.
