Only you know what kind of sound you’re after. In reading your various threads, it seems you’re building your audio system from ground up for the long haul by considering amp, preamp, DAC and so on.
My post about high efficiency speakers is directly related to your bullet point about preamp/amp combination, Tube/SS is much more advisable than SS/Tube. I was merely suggesting that high efficiency speakers are much easier to drive thus giving you larger pool to cherry pick your choice of amplification at reasonable price point.
If you haven’t thought about replacing your 90db speakers, now is the time to do so before you decide on the amplifier.
