Good sound from FETs-driving-tubes powestage?

Hi.

Better than tubes-driving-tubes? That's news to me.

My experience was reversing yours. The very best power amp I ever heard so far, dollar for dollar, is the Belgian desinged but
Canadian built Tenor Audio 75WP 75W all-triode OTL-OCL power amp monoblock. It was famed a very fine sounding amp beating amps cost many times more, by critics worldwide.

It uesd the cheapest tubes imagineable, with SS regulators throughout, yet its sound was good musical & yet so powerful I was very impressed.

Unfortunately, this affordable sonic jewel was discontinued & now replaced by a tubes-driving-MosFETs power monoblock, being more powerful & "less adjustment than the older all-tube model" per the amp distributor.

I was saddened as I missed bigtime the musically being-there from the new hybrid amp.
