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.

I will add that the type of tube you have will determine how well the set up blends in with the solid state 5 channel amp that I have powering the center and surrounds. For me the KT150s are perfect in that they are neutral, dynamic but still have that wonderful tube air.

A really great audiophile system makes the musical scores in movies so much better that it pulls you in to the movie even more. Both are important in my experience.
