I think amp designers try to design amps - tube, ss or hybrid - to what they feel is the correct sound based on their preference and based on their reference transducers. However, their preference may not be what is preferred by their costumers. But the customers rely heavily on reviews. Reviewers have biases. So at the end of the day, the amp that gets the best review sell the most. Just my opinion.
