tube pre & ss amp integrated

Been tooling around youtube , I know but what else is there now ? Very cautious !

Wife has fallen for Mcintosh MA352 . I must have tubes some place in there , she likes ss, seems to be the best of both worlds for us .

I am wondering what would compete with mac soundwise?

Will be using Klipsch Forte 4's with it .

Thank you and be safe.

What if they want new Wilson, B&W, Magico or some other brand of inefficient speaker. The powerful amp that you like will power whatever you buy in the future Removing the need of replacing something you already own freeing up additional Cash to get a better what ever speaker. I see no problem with saki70's plan at all.

In other words I think your system probably would sound great with The vast majority of quality speakers regardless of cost.
