Hello soix,
No, I wouldn't use tubes in my home theater system either, precisely for the reasons you mentioned. This is one of the generally agreed upon compromising guidelines in this hobby that I was referring to in my last post. But I still believe in all of our freedom to ignore generally agreed upon guidelines in this hobby based on personal budget, performance, convenience and preference factors, no matter how stupid or misguided they may be.
Hopes of Dopes?
