I prefer tubes too, mostly typical 6550/KT88/EL34 push pull in my case, although my Rogue amp sounds pretty nice with KT120's. I have very limited experience with low power SET as my speakers require much more power.
I've had a few Class D amps here and even though they were not ideal I preferred them to the Bryston 7BSST2 monoblocks. Maybe those were the duds in their product line. ;-) But maybe Bryston has truly done better with their Cubed series.
It just seems to me that the Bryston sound is the polar opposite of vacuum tubes, with other SS amps coming much closer.
Let us know what you end up with. I'm almost ready to give Class D another try. Perhaps those have improved in the past 5 years or so.
