To "tube" or not to "tube"

After a long musical drought (yup, divorced), I am now back in a position to upgrade. Have been wanting either the B&W N802 or Martin Logan Summits. So, for amps, what do you think, tubes, or SS for either?
thanks
jb

And to Beheme, couldn't have said it better myself. jb
