... what Paul Klipsch wanted was a good sounding tube amp that was as quiet as a SS one. Low-noise performance must have seemed very important to him, or so I'd imagine.
Follow Ups:
Early SS amps were much noisier than tube, and Paul's quote made no mention of either tube or SS, probably because SS wasn't really in play yet. His comment was made when 10 to 30 watt amps were the most popular, and no one was interested in making a really high quality 5 watt amp, mainly because his were among the very few speakers that only needed 5 watts.
I read that his favorite amp was the Brooks sliding bias 2A3 PP amp.

Interesting, thanks. I did not know that early SS amps were that noisy.
