For me, it's the PWM amp's amazing power and control over bass frequencies and the speed and transparency that compliments the tube preamp's bloom and naturalness. And as an added bonus, it runs nice and "cool".

Reinventing the wheel has context in that there has been a progression of designs over the decades: tubes > solid state > switching > ? . To say that we don't need another amp technology is to say that tube and solid state stereo amplification is perfect, which is absurd. Keep an open mind and you'll see with open eyes. Or more appropriately, hear with open ears. :-)
