Age old question... Beatles or the Stones? Uh sorry, I mean SS or tubes?

My statement is this:
Tubes are voltage devices. Transistors are current devices. Passive, inductive pick-ups develop little current but some voltage. FET's have closed this gap and offer advantages but they're not any more or less perfect than tubes, in my opinion. Tubes can and do break up and "color" the sound which may or may not be what a player wants.

My question is this:
Has anyone ever heard a compression driver horn driven by a tube power amp?

Cheers, joe
