In my last few systems I’ve had sucess using a tube pre-amp with a SS amp.You get the bottom authority of SS, with the sonic signiture of a tube.The braun, with the warmth, without the need of expensive power tubes.
You get the same (if well designed) just by going Class-A solid state.
This is why I suggested to mfdamon OP to look at the new 25w Class-A Schiit Aegir which would have no trouble with his 102db Klipsch Cornwall III’s
