Again you are failing to understand the function of the OPT.
All modern speakers run on low voltage/high current.
A solid state amp produces that directly.
A tube amp must transfer the developed wattage through a transformer to get the proper voltage to current ratio. However the same amount of audio power is being developed in either case.
As for the differences in tube vs solid state sound, there are many variables that cause this effect.

Damping factor for one.

Caused by that nasty OPT once again!
Limited by that nasty OPT perhaps. For sure if you take a global loop of NFB around it. In the extreme the limit is certainly the DCR of the windings...assume the secondary is aero resistance, the primary DCR will still have a non-zero reflected value.
While I disagree in principle with him, Geddes said that two amps that measure the same will sound the same. I do not believe his set of measurements include all the required components for this to be true, let alone the impracticality of attempting to get two amps to measure the same in even the gross values...LOL
