How loud is loud?

I LOVE those speakers! I'm gonna go buy a pair today.Wait a minute, what were we talking about again?? 
To Tube or not to Tube......
My opinion is that there are speakers that mate well with tubes and speakers that mate well with SS. It doesn't make sense to me to "Try a tube amp" as much as it makes sense to "Try a tube setup."
