You know the answer regarding how you need to go about finding out. : )
If you find the right match for your system, my sense is you may be very pleasantly surprised; and if you get a few amps that don't you'll be wondering why you bothered.
You haven't mentioned budget, speakers, your tubed pre, or room .... knowing those will help.
But the question can I live long term with a SA amp?
