Something interesting that Tim told me (correct me if I misquote) is that when slew rate is limited by current and distorts, it can make sounds brighter since it's actually a distortion (usually mainly 3rd harmonic if I'm not mistaken) and generates harmonics on top of some of the higher frequencies.

By contrast, transformers and negative feedback seem to have more of a softening affect of transients or impulses.
