I'm still in the process of reading Floyd Toole's excellent book. In chapter 4.6.2 Resonances Viewed in Frequency and Time he explains that low Q resonances are far more audible than high Q resonances. Quite the opposite of what one would expect. One reason being, that the sharp, narrow high Q issue needs to get hit precisely by the music signal, whereas the broad low Q issue has a much, much higher chance of being hit. Also, music is not a steady state signal, so the large footprint in the time domain that a high Q resonance has seems to be less problematic than expected. It just doesn't get excited long enough to fully build up the resonance.
I might need more time to digest the densely packed information in the book. Also recommend you get it yourself, it's pure gold!
Out of curiousity: Why tube amps?
