Tube newbie, Audio Research questions?

I have had SS gear all my life and know nothing about tubes but thinking about changing over. I have done some research but need to do a lot more. How does AR gear rank in the tube status quo? I currently have Krell SS gear with Wilson W/P 7's. Thanks

Thanks for the responses. I really need to get out and listen to as many tube systems as I can. I tend to prefer high resolution and weight but I am also looking for smooth and sweet. I love the speed,resolution and weight of the Krell gear but it is very detailed and unforgiving. Maybe my tastes are changing as I get older but I still like to rock n roll, on occasion.

I am thinking of adding a tube pre (AR?) with the Krell amps and going from there. That may be a solution. I have heard good things about the AR ref 2 mk II. Any thoughts?
