Intergrated or Solid State Whats The Difference ?

New to this equipment and I do not understand (quite a few things)the difference between an Intergated and a solid state amp, or the Pros and Cons of each.
And another thing, how do mono blocks provide enough power to drive power hungery speakers like VSA VR4's or B&W 800 or 802's. Seems to me the average tube amp provide 50 to 80 wpc.
Thanks

I need to learn how to get back to this thread :-) Could not find it for a day or so. Thanks for the tons of info ,insight and understanding. Its coming together. The quest continues. . . what to purchse for the objective of good listening, and stay in the budget. My present amp have XLR inputs which I would like to keep in my next unit, if possible, but I am happy with my current unit (CinePro 3K6), it a little aged, but works good, in my unexperience opinion
