Solid-state alternative to Freya +

I just bought a new set of matched Rogers tubes for my Freya + and they should arrive after Thanksgiving. But it is a budget-buster for me.

What would you suggest as a solid-state alternative?
Will I be able to sell the Freya + at a premium with the new tubes?

Thanks Audiogon community!
