Actually, the all-tubed Audiomat Arpege does leading edge VERY well, and is one of many reasons I've switched to valves from SS. Transient speed may be lower, but the edge is far more textured and realistic. SS edges tend to have a sibilant quality that I don't hear with the Arpege, and may be a contributing factor to SS's association with listening fatigue.
