tubes and rock and roll, good fit?

Considering a move from solid state, to a tubes based set up, specificly VTL's Siegfried mono amps and 7.5 Series 11 line stage. Will I be happy with tubes or is there to much bloom for rock and roll? Only system I ever heard play real rock and roll with tubes was Lloyd Walkers and it sounded fantastic. It blew me away. Was it the tubes? Already have the tt and phono stage. Real knowledge and experiance thoughts wanted. Looking to make that FINAL move! thanks

The number of tube amps that will drive your speakers properly are far outweighed by the number of solid state amps.

Keep in mind, the operative word is properly.

If this were my decision, I'd look for a better pair of solid state amps and forget the tube idea.

As always YMMV
