I have listened to these exact speakers driven by MC275s bridged mono with a C22 preamp. If anything, the bass might have been a little flabby but the overall presentation was just incredible. I am not sure about Mc's hybrids and how they will work with it.
In the end, no tube amp is going to give you the control over bass that SS is going to give you. There are certainly some SS brands that can sound more tubish though.
I know the Sopras and they like warmish, SS amplification. Obviously they pair well with Naim and that is Naim's signature sound profile. You can't go wrong with a Naim product paired with them.
Pass is not inexpensive but it will do a lovely job. I would take a look at their integrated amps as they will provide the sound profile you are looking for.
If you are looking for a hybrid, I would encourage you to look at AVM. Warmish sound profile with an ECC83 input stage and a MOSFET output stage in the flagship Ovation A 8.3. It is $15,995 and has a ton of features, Bluetooth, DAC, Headphone, Amp, etc... that you may not need.
At a more modest price of $6495, the Evolution A 5.2 is a hybrid Class D with the same tube input stage. This is modular and you can add a DAC and phono stage cards. I have customers driving Martin Logans and Magico A3s with this integrated. It is very revealing and is a strong value given Class D. Check out Gary Beard's review in Positive Feedback.
I am an AVM dealer, I have no relationship with McIntosh, Naim, or Pass.
