Tube vs SS Amp with a All Tube Preamp

If I have an all tube preamp what is the advantage of having a tube amp vs a SS state. I understand SS is better for dynamics and power so what is the tube amp going to do that the tube preamp is not doing already?

What speakers? What preamp? DartZeel solid state amp vs Audio Mirror tube amp? See what I mean? Be more specific.

How can this be generalized? What is faster, a sedan or an SUV? Can anyone answer this question?

Agreed, as far as general idea....but still we are really not even scratching a surface. I still think that without mentioning a specific product, we are simply applying buzzwords to stereotypes. Sorry. I guess I am bit particular when it comes to questions like this.
