There is some debate in the music world regarding tubes versus solid state. I barely understand why this dialogue exists, except that solid state amps can be lightweight and powerful. Sound-wise, there is no way a solid state amp could sound like this Matchless. No way.

I hear the arguments from people with "golden ears" about the difference in chips vs tubes. I would love to see a scientific valid test with equal systems and a blind hearing test. The people listening would have no idea which system they are listening to.

Since that would be very expensive I doubt it will happen. Maybe it has already been done.

I've heard a lot of amps in my day. When I heard this three-piece band, I said to myself "OMG.....the sound of that amp is stunning." Turned out to be the Matchless. There are no bass amps that sound like an Ampeg SVT, other than the SVT. Nothing sounds like a vintage Marshall "Plexi"........except a Plexi. Behind Clapton in the Bill Murray picture.......a Matchless. Testing is over, and it was conclusive.
