tubes or SS?

I'm in the market for a new amp and cd player. 2-channel music is where I have been focusing my research lately, but I don't want to to compromise my HT either. Seperate systems is not an option.

I'm wondering how tube amps (pre or intgrated) work in HT?

I like the tube sound, but wonder if I can get it for music by adding a tube cd player thru a SS amp?

Anyone know how the hybrid amps like the Jolida work in HT?

My speakers are Soliloquy 5.3, with the center and surrounds following soon.

I have a Yamaha RXV-995 receiver (100x5 DD,DTS) right now.

I may have just talked my fiance' into seperate HT and music systems. This is of course assuming that the cost doesn't get out of hand.

Since I have the yamaha and a good DVD player for HT. I could use my Soliloquys for music only and invest in 4 small monitors and center for HT.

I would still need an amp and cd player, but this would atleast give me a little more flexibilty.

back to the drawing board...

thanks, I've seen those speakers before in magazines, I believe. I think got a few months atleast before I make that decision now. The next purchase will be a Soliloquy C3 center channel and a cd player, followed by an amp of some kind. Last will be my surrounds or a better sub.

I had surrounds in a previous set up and liked the effect, but I can live with just the front 3 for now.
