Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic.

As everyone knows, tubes are expensive. Can a higher power SS substitute for this "subjective" magic. One reviewer said he made the transition and did not miss the tubes. What do you say? Let's try to keep the speaker variable out of this.

Orpheus10, have you considered active crossovers and some sort of multi-amplification?

I owned a Plinius SS amp before I switched to tubes (Rogue Audio).  I was very happy with the sound of the Plinius amp and preamp.  They just were not as reliable as I would like.  Every two years I would have to travel to the repair shop.  Hopefully the Rogue Audio will not have that problem...but of course I will have to replace the tubes eventually.
