Those load dependent effects can also interact with the non-linear properties of the amplifier by impacting feedback, affecting stability, etc... My belief is that amplifiers and speakers (and associated wiring) should be evaluated as pairs, not evaluated separately.
I don't know why, but that solid-state edge seems to be prevalent at power up, but with the solid state equipment that I happily use, it's gone after the equipment has been powered up for 24-48 hours. IMO, solid state equipment should be run 24-7 for best sound. This does not appear to shorten product lifetimes and may possibly extend the lifetime of components by reducing the number of thermal cycles and power transients. Electric cost can be a factor, however, particularly in the summertime.
