There's been several quasi-scientific studies that have shown that even professional recording engineers with 30 years experience and multiple grammy-winning songs and albums to their credit can't tell the difference between a modeled amp and the real one most of the time.

That being said, like Ken stated above, the tube amp "feel" will probably never be duplicated, therefore among guitarists, tube amps will always be popular.

I don't put much stock into what the talking heads say. These are the same idiots who, for the last 50 years or so, have been promising that flying cars and video phones are right around the corner.
