Any speaker with big changes in its impedance curve will cause the frequency response of an amp with low damping factor(almost every tube amp) to vary, sometimes a lot. The A25 has only one bass impedance rise(ported speakers have 2) and its magnitude is reduced because of the 'aperiodic' bass loading so it will affect low damping factor amps less than most speakers. So in that sense it's a good tube amp speaker. But that doesn't make it a poor solid state speaker at all.
I suspect that the A25 has a tighter Q than the Advent meaning it inherently has tighter bass(this is mainly saying what I said above in another way). But that's good for almost all amps. Perhaps the tighter bass of the A25 will sound a bit too lean for most listeners who are used to less damped bass. And if that's true I bet those listeners will prefer the Advents on solid state amps.
