Used to own a Melos tube amp, before that an ARC D115. Now I like the Jeff Rowland that I own a lot more. Why, the tube amps give off an enormous amount of heat, and in a small room this is a drag. Plus you never really know how the tubes are holding up, where are they in their life cycle?
SS is more reliable and if you have the right amp better sounding IMHO.
Now in pre-amps that's a whole diff story, I say tube all the way.
