HT Sound quality - tube versus solid state amplification

If you had your choice between tube and solid state amplification for your home theater main speakers, which would be more desirable?

I have solid state Mono blocks and I'm thinking about changing to tube monos.

Interested in what people use out there.

In the HT system the pre-out for the front 2 speakers on my HT reciever drives an input to my tube amp. So I get almost the same great sound I've cultivated for 2 channel sound in these 2 speakers for HT. Very nice. Jerry

If you think tubes can't be dynamic, you should listen to a better system. only very high power tube systems are heat problems. Frankly, they are an aberration that has been developed for insensitive speakers. My tubes aren't as much heat as my Television.
