I agree with Meisterkleef about the Classe Amplifiers and the Aerial 10Ts . I bought my 10Ts in 1997 and at that time I chose Audio Research Tube amps ( Ref1 pre amp and VT 200 amp) I like the sound of the combination. It just depends on how much you like that 'warm' tube sound.
Solid State is less maintenance. However I have not noticed a diminished bass response when using my VT200 amplifier as claimed by some audiophiles.
A good mix would be to go with a tube pre-amp and a solid state amp.
