Solid states more accurate than tubes?


Ever since I changed speakers from a pair of Maggie's to Proac's, I find the tonal balance more accurate with a ss, especially acoustic wood instruments. Tubes seem to lack that tonal accuracy. I believe it's a more realistic and accurate rendering. Is that a fair assessment? I'm not arguing tubes don't sound good with it's rich, warm sound but just not as accurate.

So the question for us is where is the median? The hybrid that isn’t a compromise? Maybe just a brush thru the hair with a smile and little on? (I’m not specifying gender here!) 

Kinda like using good cabling and acoustics to tweak final product.
