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

I think the McIntosh pre and 2102 would sound great
with the Paradigm 100's. Or, with just about any speakers. If you find that the 2102 isn't driving the Paradigms hard enough, buy another 2102 and run them as monoblocks. The 2102 is a powerful amp -- don't let the 100 watt per channel rating fool you. All watts ain't created equal.
