Of course, the speakers fitted to combo amps have limited response, 70 to 4kHz with a presence peak around 2 to 3 KHz being typical.

But they ARE damn efficient, up to 105dB/watt for some 12 inch models.

This is all vital stuff. You must consider that a guitar amplifier is
not a reproduction device. It is an integral part of the instrument,
and confers a large amount of the sound of the instrument. Flat
response and low distortion are the last things a guitar amplifier
designer is looking for.

right, a slightly different way of saying what I did earlier, about the
amplifier being part of "the sound". So then it also matters who made
the tubes, among other things, as they are part of "the sound" as well.
