I had BAT Rex in my system recently, paired with BAT 75-SE, and it was "dead silent"- I could only hear very low level ground loop- type cycling humm with my ear literally 1" from the tweeter, which I'm positive, was related to my power lines, rather then Pre/Amp themselves.
So, I guess hiss is a byproduct of less, then perfect design, and not inherent to tubes or mosfets for that matter.
