I was friends with a Wilson dealer in a medium-sized city, and he hosted several Wilson-sponsored open house events. After the presentation/demo, they would just play music for the rest of the evening, first using the solid state amp they'd done the demo's with, and then after a while they'd hook up a tube amp. It was interesting to observe the room empty out when the solid state amp was in play, and the fill back up when the tube amp was hooked up. I'm not sure people were aware of the change in amplification, but evidently they were hearing a change for the better with the tubes. The solid state amps were more expensive than the tube amps, just for the record.
Not saying this trend would necessarily apply to all tube amps or all solid state amps, but to address at least part of the original question, tubes can work quite well on various model Wilsons, including the MAXX.
