Bi amping with Tube and Solid State

I have a Sonic Frontiers SFS-40(High) and Mcintosh MC-2155(Low), wanting to get biamp for my Linn Keilidh. Will I get into tonal unbalance since one is tube and the other is solid state. Any Suggestions?

I am using the Marchand 126s active crossover. For proper blending I am using 250 Hz @6dB/Octave for the high pass and the low pass at 200 Hz @ 18dB/octave. It is incredible how people on this forum can make such sweeping, and incorrect generalizations without clarification.

Consequently, the quality of the caps and resistor will have an impact on the sound, since the signal traverses an equivalent C-R circuit.
