Wilson sophia typically found with solid state

Just wondering are the wilson sophia's ever driven with tubes? It seems that most are running on ss. I just heard them at a show room and they are incredilbe transparent and dynamic. How do they sound with tubes?

Stringreen,

agree with you on your comment on Ayre and how it would be difficult to tell blindfolded if it is SS or tubed. Of course the quality of bass would give it away (better with the Ayre).
