Tube or SS for Vocals/Strings

I am wondering if I should pair a tube amp with my arro's if most of my listening is classical? I also like opera, baroque, romantic, etc. I am a cellist and so I listen to a lot of strings but I also like vocals. Yann Tiersen is my favorite artist/composer and so I want something that boosts all the arros' strengths and is completely musically involving. ideas?

I would agree with the previous poster in recommending tubes and IMO a cj premier 140, assuming your speakers are fairly efficient, would fit the bill quite nicely. I also love / enjoy baroque music and nothing does the midrange and high frequency realism like tubes do. Having said that I am very please with my cj premier 350ss driving my thiels with a tubed pre-amp.
