I was starting to wonder if anyone was going to reply since there's almost 100 views on this thread. Thanks for the tips. I'll admit that my knowledge of tube amps is somewhat limited. I've never actually heard one for stereo, but I've heard the difference between SS and tube guitar amps and there is DEFINATELY a difference in sound. Tubes just sound more relaxed and full. My only question is what makes the SET (Single Ended Triode for those who might be reading this thread) tube amps the best option. I would suspect maybe more efficiency, but I'm only guessing. Anyway, thanks for the advice and it will help when I decide what I'm going to do.
