Hybrid amps, best of both worlds?

As I see it, you have tube amps, SS amps and then there are hybrids. Tubes and SS have their own properties, but hybrids are supposed to combine the best of both worlds. They are sort of like tube preamp and SS amp. Anyone have one they really like? How about Van Alstyne stuff?

It is one way to have more power than a typical tube amp, and still have tubes in the signal path for more bloom, etc.
Conrad Johnson had their 200 watt EV2000.

Blue Circle has a couple new hybrid amps on the market; the BC24 (80 watts) and BC28 (120 watts). BC's old hybrid amp was the BC6, which was 25 watts and does not fit my power scenario above.
