I have only used valve amps at home for over twenty years, good valve amps sound flat and accurate, not lush and woolly.
I think people assume valves are a bit mushy, when in fact they generally impart a lovely natural compression, which gives an accurate and punchy sound while retaining the musicality. I've never had valve hi-fi separates, but as a guitarist I always prefer tube amps for electric guitars.
