Indeed, do not assume that because a device has a limited slewrate it will sound soft. On the contrary, if you subject a "slow" amplifier to a fast transient, it may well distort it by exaggerating the edge or ringing and introducing further artifacts/harmonics etc, so a "click" might turn into a "clank"
