"But sonically accurate they are not. "This might be one of the few areas where we disagree. Tubes are inherently accurate, particularly triodes. Where they sometimes fail is in the interface to the speaker, but that's a system issue. One need only listen to a good tube amplifier with good headphones to know this is true. No SS amp I've heard (and I've listened to some of the best going back to the '70s) has ever produced the stunning, in-your-face realism that I experience with simple class A pentodes or triodes and good (but not expensive) headphones. If I had a really good set of high-end horns, I'm sure I'd be saying the same thing about tube amps and speakers. You're entitled to your opinion, but it's for the sake of accuracy that I'll never go back to solid state.
