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!

I have my Ayre stuff for about 12 yers or so.....never a problem.   I sent the amp back to Ayre for a look-see........they sent it back without needing any repair
