Will tubes rock?

BTW I have perused the "tube amps with balls" thread, but didn't feel like my oranges were comparable to their clementines.

JoLida makes a very nice 100-watt integrated tube amp that retails for $1700, the JD 1000A. The Rogue Audio M-120's (120 watt monoblocks) go for $2500 a pair, and I've heard them sound very good on Vandersteens. Not to get too much into tube lore here, but the JoLida uses EL34's for output tubes, which excel at midrange, and the Rogues use 6550's, which aren't as sweet in the mids but are more powerful. I sell the JoLidas. I think the Spicas would work well with either the JoLida or Rogue.

Pinetop: How large is your listening room? This will help determine what amps may and may not work. And yes, I feel that tubes do rock when paired with the right speakers (my 7 watt per channel 300b tube amp does anyway). I also have an inexpensive Musical Fidelity SS amp that has a wonderful midrange. I dont agree with many of the sterotypes :-) given to both SS and tubes as long as the components (including the room) are well matched.
