amplifier longevity


Is there any difference in longevity and or reliability between valve amps and solid state amps?

I thought that perhaps design differences between ss and tube amps  might  be a factor here.

Specifically I am considering the valve amps by Rogue Audio vs. the solid state amps by Luxman, both great brands in my opinion.

 

Thanks!

Not counting my first tube amp, a VTL.....I have had excellent reliability with tube gear.  My current amps are 8 years old , look and work perfect still
