Tube vs. Solid State Amplifiers

Tubes are nothing but power bulbs. Archaic, noisy, additive in distortion artifacts.
Power bulbs hold no mysterious, intangible aura for me. They are plagued by problems. Well executed solid state designs have so many advantages that are too numerous to list. AND SS amplifiers mop the floor with power bulbs in every audible specification and sound quality.

Clearly you have not listened to a HQ tube amp in the last decade or even two.
But you are entitled to your opinion. I have High End Tube Amps and High End SS ( Simaudio, PASS, AR, AH and QS) gear in my home and they are matched with the appropriate Impedance and Sensitivity speakers and they all sound GREAT! Each with their own character and flaws.

But I appreciate them for what they do well and for me it is about the music not the gear. Being an analog guy I prefer valves to SS.
Enjoy the music Earl.

@twoleftears my point is that a 20 watt Raven is not a good match to drive them. Many have attested to this here at this very forum.

I learned a lot and radically improved my system after my AG thread,
”Is there a SS amp that can satisfy a SET guy?”.
I did discover a few and have forever moved away from 8 watts of 300B. I found a SS Class D amp that, with super low distortion and amazing detail, has become my last amp... the AGD Audion mono blocks. Not only do I have more than enough power for my speakers, I hear SQ never imagined. I have never heard a sound that was as smooth and musical as great SET and a clear window into the music. And, incredibly, now there is no such thing as a “bad” record. The AGD when combined with my speakers and the rest of a lovely system uncovers the musical essence in every LP. This is something that I have never experienced with any amp in 50 years.
All the AGD owners I have communicated with and all the reviewers have had the exact same experience.

@mglik At $7500 a pair retail price for your AGD Audion Mono amps, with their unique MOSFET power stage, it had better sound good. Not your mainstream $2500 class-D amplifier I'm sure you'd agree.   

The AGDs are transformative. Different from other Class D based on the only GAN MOSFET designed for Audio. Patented. Right now listening to an Opera recording. Never cared that much for it. I never wanted to hear all that screeching. Now hearing the emotion, the dynamics and an overall SQ that brings goose bumps!
The current price for the Audions is $8350. The performance is worth $83500!
