I can understand the attraction from A/b or even A if current is a problem to a class D amp. But tubes are not something I hear and can easily go to a class D system unless heat or space is the consideration. A preference for tubes is in a class by itself. The differences are easily distinguishable in a blind test. SS v tubes, if you enjoy tubes; my advice is don’t even bother, over time you will be sorry, have spent more money, just to go back to the sound you like, tubes.
In 10 years, as Ralph says….then maybe?
