I personally like SS amps the best, but made that decision many years ago. High frequency response and reliability mostly. That being said, I haven't listened to any tube amps except for David Berning monos and those did sound very good. Hard to tell because they were not connected to my speakers.
Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers
I found this really good link regarding the differences:

I've heard some (who are much more knowledgeable than me) say that a tube amp and solid state amp which are rated at the same output power in practice will not drive a speaker to the same level, that in selecting amplifier power levels, you would get similar results from lower powered tube amps.
I thought it would be interesting to see what those who know much more about this subject would contribute to this discussion.
