I agree with Bob bundus, as well. Good mosfet amplifiers do NOT sound like tube amps. I use mosfet amps in both my HT system and my 2-channel system and would not find them satisfactory if they sounded like tubes. I've tried a number of tube amps from the cheep to the way expensive and none of them gave me the clarity, precision, speed, dynamics, and detail that I get from good SS gear.
That being said, I'm first and foremost a musician and only secondarily an audiophile. My objective is to hear the music with as little sonic degradation as I can manage. The warm, euphonious distortion introduced by tubes is seductive but ultimately--for me--it gets in the way of the music.
Different strokes and all that.
