i think the whole point of the amplified tube is space. considering the SVX's limited storage space, why eliminate what little trunk there is with a speaker cabinet and amps? the "powered tube" style subs still allow you to have a useable trunk, and are easily removed if more trunk space is needed. they don't give up quality sound, either.
however, if you like rap and you're looking to shake the neighborhood with 4000W of power (and have me reaching for my gun.....), go with the components.
