Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Driving PSB Imagine T2s

All--

I have my eye on a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP to drive my PSB Imagine T2s.   I heard the Primaluna Dialogue driving KEF R700s last week, and I loved the sound in the showroom.  

My current system is the following: 
Creek Evolution 100 A integrated amplifier
Bluesound Node 2, streaming tidal to Creek Ruby DAC
Roksan Radius V with Ortofon 2M Black MM cartridge

My short term plan would be to use the Creek Evolution (or my Creek 5350SE with passive preamp) as the preamplifier.  

I would think the Dialogue Premium HP amp would have no trouble driving the PSB Imagine T2s in a 13' x 21' room (with the loudspeakers placed along the shorter wall of the rectangle room.   

Thoughts?  Appreciate all responses.  You folks have just been great in providing insight and help.

Don't fret over not having an expensive preamp to use . You may like the creek passive with a tube amp . I enjoy using a $60 volume pot at times with certain gear . Zero coloration added can be an eyeopener .(with digital signals)

Hello jbhiller . I have the Primaluna integrated one . It has been used on a variety of speakers . The most difficult to drive have been Thiel sc7 , King Sound King . Have used it with two Triangle models . Revel f30’s , Cerwin Vega’s , Innersound , Meadowlark .. and some i am forgetting at the moment .

I had over an associate of Frank Vanalstines a few weeks ago for a abx box demo . This gentlemen designs and builds amps . He had never heard of Primaluna as he is in his own (bubble) when it comes to the hifi market place . His first comment was how impressive the bass was .

I have only used kt88 tubes in the Primaluna so far . Have to imagine using kt120 or 150 would benefit me with the harder to drive speakers .

Not sure on how to send a pm yet . How does one go about that ?
