if you get tube research driving any speaker is not an issue.i prefer tubes over ss in most applications. however if forced to live without tubes give me gryphon . i would say start with a tube pre then try an amp.
What's to prefer; tube preamp or tube amp?
I wonder what is to prefer when it comes to amps. A tube preamp or a tube power amp? Many people seem to like the preamp to be tube. I also wonder what the difference is? And what about both amps tubes? And why not an integrated tube amp? Thoughts and question marks that I would like to have straightened out.
