What's the bass like at volume into
ordinary mainstream speakers? How well does the piano cope with
the tympani? Or light cymbals with saxophone? Is Mahler muddled?


Interesting question ;-)


Following that up, what issues would you expect to hear using a valve
amp into ordinary modern speakers?


Issues are inaudible.

What you hear with good tube amps is unblemished hi-fi.


In response to a question, you responded with "What's the bass like at
volume into ordinary mainstream speakers". What prompts that question and
what bass issues are you decribing?

I am testing a solid state amp against a valve amp into "ordinary modern
speakers". This test will decide if I stick with SS or get valves.
