I've done it both ways with tube & solid-state electronics. I had the Cary SLP-05 tube linestage driving a Pass Labs X150.5 amp. That was a wonderful sounding setup. On the other hand, I had solid-state linestages and a passive one driving a pair of AES/Cary SixPac EL34 mono blocks. That was outstanding too. There's no set rule on which way to go.
That being said, for my money I'd go with the Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated amp with KT120 power tubes. I've had much higher end equipment in the past but I've held on to the Rogue over the years and that's what I'm using today. I'm also using the ARC VSI-60 integrated but in terms of value (bang for the buck) and outstanding sonics, my pick would still be the Rogue.
