If you increase the capacitance enough you can make a solid state amp sound like a tube one.
I would not agree with this as I have heard amps with over 1 Farad (i.e. 1,000,000 uF) that still sounded nothing like a tube amp. It might sound more dynamic...or not. Clearly an amp will sound less dynamic with an underdeveloped power supply but it is not that all there is to it.
"SE tube amps are usually tested with very efficient and easy loads
I would try a decent solid state amp with the same speakers and listen
I am sure the result would be equally satisfying"
Have you done this experiment? I assure you I have and you would likely not believe the results if I tell you. I used to run my KR Audio VA350i on very difficult electrostatic speakers and not one SS amp ever sounded more dynamic. I had a similar results on a number of other speakers.
I have only had SS amps with very large power supplies so I don't know what amps you are referring to but I had ones with 100,000 to 250,000uF.
