I've mostly been a SS guy over the years, but I appreciate what good tube amps can do. The best tube amp I've owned was an Aria Audio 350XL hybrid, designed by Mike Elliott of Counterpoint fame. Looking back, that thing had it all--but I sold it when I decided to get out of the hobby.
I got back into the hobby several years ago, and my amps since then have been SS Codas. I use a modified S12.5 in my main system and CSi-B integrated in my second rig. I really like the Coda sound: a beautiful blend of SS speed and clarity married to a just-sweet-enough treble and midrange. The Class A 15.5 is also a fantastic amp if your speakers need that kind of juice.
