High Sensitivity Speakers that work best with SS

In general, most all "high sensitivity" speakers I have heard or read about seem to do best with tube amps. Is that pretty much always the case? Anyone have experience with any "high sensitivity" speakers that in general work or sound better with SS amps than tube amps ?

I would also like to say that the smaller versions of all of these monster amps have sounded better to me as well, through my particular speakers.

I have had a few tube amps paired with my Lascalas, but prefer the control and background silence of my modified 50 wpc Yamaha pro amp driving them. To me, it is a match in heaven (of course, there are other variables). I have never had a "mega" tube amp, simply because of funds, but I am sure a "great" tube amp would have me go back to tubes.

Every high power solid state amp I haver tried with my Lascalas, including Mac, Levenson, Krell, Bryston, Threshold, and many others, have never sounded as smooth as my little pro Yammie. I am not suggesting everyone go out and buy one. It just does for me what I want it to, and that is the point of all of this. To find a combo, a match, that makes you enjoy your recorded music, and tap your feet. And yes, Nvp was looking for an explanation, but from one specific individual on this thread. Just saying....MrD.
