Tube Preamp and SS Amps - How?


I am considering moving to a tube preamp and SS power amp set up. Are there any rules of thumb in getting a proper match and what should I look out for or avoid? Any suggestions or insight would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

I dont know maths, also dont cal maths, life experience:

Jadis DPL2 + Meridian 505 mono
ARC LS2 MKII + Pass Lab 150

Jadis sounds very romantic, but losing bass. ARC combo more dynamic, but lack a bit power (may be Pass Lab need to be replaced something).

However, I believe things should work better in the same character.......tuibe with tube, ARC with ARC, Jadis with Jadis, Meridian with Meridian, etc
