Yeah, but 'exactly the same way' means that they have to have the same

Yup.

Ok, so now you agreed that driving the same voltage on the speaker terminals will cause the speaker to move the same way, given that the amps PSU is up to it, then:

1) Explain why a SS amp could not drive the voltages in the same way as a valve one
2) At what point do you declare differences to be inaudible? equipment exists that can measure down to about -140dB - are you suggesting the 'valve sound' comes from sub -140dB artifcats ? perhaps this is why speaker wire makes a difference - maybe they were right after all!
