Paradigm Studio 100 speakers and 35 watt tube amp?


I am currently using a Adcom 555 amp and preamp with my Paradigm. Since reading Audiogon I am interested in trying tubes. Would this integrated Cayin TA-30 35 watts a channel be a good match or not. I have been researching this and have gotten different opinions. I have heard that the Paradigm need high current so a 35 watt tube amp would be a very poor choice and that I should stick with solid state. Someone else suggested biamping the Paradigm with my 200 watt Adcom for the bass. Is this a good idea.
thanks for any help.

My McIntosh MC240 works fine with Studio 100 v2 speakers.
Even a dinky MC225 can handle them if you don't need a lot of volume.
