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!

Tube amp could last very long time, and SS amp could fail in short period of time.It is all case by case,and decided by the points I memtioned above. I am not sure if OP worry about the complex of usage of tube amp in daily life. If that is you intend to tell,I agree. Tube amp usually ask you to take care more than SS amp in the time being.
