SET amp with solid state preamp

I am considering purchasing a low powered SET amp and was wondering if it would work with a solid state preamp? Also what would be the best speakers to use with this type of amp. Also looking for set amp recommendations. Thanks for responding.

Gcj123, you need to get speakers with very benign impedance curves to use with lower powered tube amp, especially one that is single ended.

My speakers are rated at 88db/pm sensitive and I use a single ended tube amp rated at 12wpc. I have plenty enough power BUT my speakers were designed to be used with vacuum tube amps.
