Back in the days when I did PA for local and (small name) touring groups (mostly punk, ska, etc) coming through town, I would use a solid-state amp. The equipment was rugged and easy to tote around - plus you don't have to worry so much if someone accidentally spill beer on your amp - ie, I would rather lose a $200 solid-state 'pro-sound' amp than a nice tube unit.

I still prided myself on making good sound by using a nice little separate mixer, some decent (SM58 and SM57) mics, and some semi-decent horn speakers. Not exactly 'hi-fi' - but better than the 'turn it up to 11' crowd. I have gone to too many shows where you can't hear the vocalist, or everything sounded too muddy.

I've heard of a local tube guru using for PA a pair of EICO HF-60s into some Altec horns... it was for Barqoque music in a semi-large hall.
