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

What about a tubed preamp with SS amp?

Look for something powerful, quiet, and with a well-regarded phono stage.

Much easier to demo, and it may get you entirely to where you want to go.

For a tubed amp, think CAT and BAT, in addition to the VTL. There are literally just a handful of tubed amps with power and bass.
