Hi Lenny:
I listened to the Pembroke's approx. 3 years ago and liked the sound. They are a fuller sounding version of the Castle Acoustics Isis stand mount speakers which I have owned.
They can be a bit hot in the HF's (meaning that they do not gloss over harsh HF's in source material and/or what is being conveyed by the electronics), but I'm probably making this sound negative, which it really is not. They are just not subdued in the HF's.
I suspect that they would mate well with the EL34 based Jolida.
Recently saw them half priced @ Audio Advisor and were I not in a tight budget due to being off work for 4 years now I would have snapped them up for the asking price.
Bass response was tight and linear, not big and bloomy, which is also to my personal taste. Probably best in medium sized rooms (smaller rooms good also) as were the Castle Isis speakers.
