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.

This is a simple living room system for everyday use. We will check out the Aestheics, Pathos and Vincent suggestions in a bit. Thank you
