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 agree with quality setting you up for service time. I have a Cary Rocket 88 heating my man cave in Winter, and I’ll go to my Marantz 2226B in the warmer months. So far, my Klipsch Forte efficiency likes em both. Ears are happy!
