tubes or SS?


I'm in the market for a new amp and cd player. 2-channel music is where I have been focusing my research lately, but I don't want to to compromise my HT either. Seperate systems is not an option.

I'm wondering how tube amps (pre or intgrated) work in HT?

I like the tube sound, but wonder if I can get it for music by adding a tube cd player thru a SS amp?

Anyone know how the hybrid amps like the Jolida work in HT?

My speakers are Soliloquy 5.3, with the center and surrounds following soon.

I have a Yamaha RXV-995 receiver (100x5 DD,DTS) right now.
