les if you want flames... you have got to try harder than that...how about...
with more efficient speakers, your output tube needs to swing less total voltage, therefore is operating as a more linear device?, and could the possible trend towards lower power tubes have anything to do with the added second order distortion that comes from swinging those extra volts masking other problems in the playback system?
hook, line and sinker are in the water now....
a few years back when this concept was proposed to me, i scoffed... i had a firm grasp on this whole tube thing, and i knew better... today, it seems i know far less than i thought i did then... and like the rest of us... am floundering looking for answers... but on a certain level the above comments sure seem to make a lot more sense.
just something to think about
