IMHO, hybrids with tube input and SS output sections are SS amps. A good one will be an excellent SS amp. Amps with this topography have never IME sounded like tube amps, probably because they don't interact with the loudspeaker the way a tube amp does. That's just speculation, but I've heard a TON of hybrids over the years and - while several sounded quite good - not one has sounded notably tube like.
Just IME.
