Hybrid Tube & SS

I know there are a number of hybrid integrated amps out there now that have received some favorable reviews. Have not heard one for myself yet. If you have heard them or own one , how much of the “tube sound” and soundstage is lost going this way?  Saw a video from PS Audio saying that tubes are for preamps and SS is for amplification and that we are best to let each do their job. Related, is anyone using a tube preamp and a SS amp as separates?

I could not agree more on the listening before going ahead. Only then you can support any arguement. With my current speakers (91db) i use hybrid pre and ss stereo amp, works much better sonically than my previous tubed power amp that had plenty of power also.
