Subwoofer Suggestion
SVS or PSA over Focal or Klipsch. The 1000 series SVS subs are entry level and under-sized for that room. If the desired outcome is to add a little more bass, they'll do that, but if you're expecting a major improvement, you may be disappointed. O...

I have 4 systems - main (living room), office, bedroom, computer room. My living room is pretty big and opens into my kitchen. 4 subs there. All the others have a single sealed sub and sound great.  If your goal is gut punching bass, you need big ...

I can't tell you about how well the amp specs match up, but I can tell you that you're not going to get a "tubey" sound from the LS26.  It's very neutral and closer to a solid state sound than a "tubey" sound.
