I have see several recommendations against tube amps powering certain speakers. But which speakers are known to really like time amps, especially high powered tube amps?
Most speakers. But the speaker needs to be matched to appropriately powerful amp. Not a 15 wpc amp with 82 db efficiency speakers. I doubt 300 wpc amp with 105 db speaker would be an ideal match either.
Considering they are McIntosh they would probably match best with some highly resolving speakers. I find McIntosh to be very heavy on the bass and midrange and very shy on details… the choice in speakers is really important to get the most out of what the signal chain can provide.
