paradigm studio 100V2 with Mcintosh tubes


what is you opinion on mcintosh c2200 tube pre with mc2102 tube amp hooked up with the studio100. Do you think it will sound better with SS set up. If not recommend a speaker that will sound excellent with the Mac gear I mentioned.
thanks

biamp is the best treatmemt for all complicated and tough loads. you might end-up with much less but clip-free power.

you can use

NAD C370 integrated used($400) as woofer amp(upto 600Hz) and preamp --> marchand crossover(tube or ss whichever you can afford certainly with removed speaker crossover) --> your mckintosh amp at upper and midrange.

Many manufacturers would not recommend to go active since it will loose its values but many would state otherwise recommending an optimal crossover point(s) beneficial for amplifiers and speakers together with removed internal speaker crossover.
Rsbeck as God created all equal Watts are created equal as well.
Load can vary power and that's what it all about.
100Wpc is power at 1kHz freequency at 8Ohms. What will be the power to 22 Ohms? 3 Ohms?
