What speakers go best with a Mcintosh MC240

I am running a McIntosh MC-240 with an MX-110 Preamp/Tuner. Both are in excellent shape and have been retubed about 75 hours (of use) ago. (Amp also has new caps). I have a pair of B&W Matrix 805's but the amp doesn't seem to have enough power to drive them properly/loudly/clearly and they have been moved over to my home theatre. Currently, I am running a pair of Klipsch Fortes with the amp but the sound is just so-so. I have read some forums where a SS amp is used for the low end and the tube for the hights but don't really follow the point. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks!!

Hi. Trying to bring this back. I just purchased this classic combination Mcintosh gear. Incredible shape from the original owner. Just minor repair by a former Mcintosh tech. I grew up in the same town as the company.

I currently have Some vandersteen 2CE's powered by an old Sansui Au 7900. Not sure that the Vandy's will mix well, and yes I have a limited budget.
Any thoughts?
