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

I'd give serious consideration to VAC's new Statement 440 amps. I chose VAC (Phi 200) over VTL (MB 450sII) because I found more musicality, better control over microdynamics, and all around more lifelike sound from VAC.

That being said, Gryphon is what Andy uses, a point you should not overlook.
