when comparing vintage vs late-model amps of any configuration - SS or tubes.

* Restoration costs for older gear to bring it up to as-new standards
* Quality of components surrounding the amp/receiver regardless of age

In general, most of the circuit topologies are well-known from an engineering standpoint. The rest of it is a matter of design tradeoffs and engineering to specific price points.
