    Tubes VS solid state for my JBL 4520 ?

    hello! Its time for a new power amp for my system! For years i use a Soundvalves vta 70 power tube amp! 2x35 watts with lovely sound ! The question is tubes or solid state?

    I love vintage power amps... Phase linears, Ampzilla's, SAE, etc but i really scare of them... Many of all these old beast dont have dc protection and i really dont want to loose any of my speakers or drivers. I also love the tube sound!! its warm with the details i want... They said that sold state got more detail but im scared that with solid state my horns will become harsh and with tiresome sound.

    i have found a pair of monoblocks Klimo kent amps for the same price with a pair of ampzilla power amp and GAS Phaedra preamp so i really think what to choose!!!

    here are some photos of my system
