looking for an amp ???

I am looking for an amp but am a little tossed up between solid state or tube amps?? I'm thinking a BAT VK60se but am worried about losing the dynamic autority of a solid but would like the richer more 'real' sound of a tube. If it helps I have avalon eclipse speakers and primarily listen to CD's but am starting to get into vinyl. thanks a lot for any help or opinions all are welcome.
