SS amps have come a long way in the new $1K and higher cost designs. However, the right tubes can play with an immediate sound that isextremely open and just great. I never heard a SS amp quite as good in this respect. But, most tube sound is accomplished in the tube preamp section and I would be ok with a tube preamp and SS power amp.
