I know of several cases where switching to solid state was the solution.
It depends on your overall tastes, of course, but in general, that giant capacitor called an ESL speaker makes it common to see less than stellar amps droop in the top octaves and loose overall punch.
The more common combination is tube pre with solid state amps, but YMMV, and there are always exceptions to the rule.
