They can, but it really depends in what you are driving. Most solid state amps today aim for a true flat response and are capable of achieving it when driving most headphones and, probably, all IEMs. You usually will not notice an amp deviating from that flat response unless you are making it work hard. Whether that be via power or gain. Additionally, you probably wont notice the deviation as much on a solid state amp as you would on a tube amp.
