It is a general rule, but not an absolute rule, to go with solid state amps when using ESLs because of the generally true impedance matching issues.
There are lots of good exceptions though, so it’s not an absolute, just more likely. You might really want a drop in upper octave output, in which case a high output amp (i.e. tube) will suit your needs.
Personally, give me a nice juicy preamp and a solid state amp with those. :)
