Primaluna Evo 400 Preamp pairing with McIntosh MC1502

Greetings of the day.This is my first post in this forum. I am faced with a peculiar problem of preamp / amp pairing. 
Without going into the history of how this happened ( that's a long story ) I have a brand new Primaluna Evo400 pre amp and a brand new Mc1502 power amp on its way to me. These were procured on order specifically and returns and exchanges are not an option. 

My question is , has anyone worked with this combination or heard this before. While individually they are both stellar performers , I am concerned about possible synergy deficiencies. If this forum can offer feedback or advise ways to counter any possible synergy issues by way of sources , cables , speakers.  I would be grateful.

Currently I run a Musical Fidelity M6 500i with Elac FS249 speakers ,my source is exclusively HDD digital music and streaming from Tidal , Spotify , Apple and other similar services through a Cambridge Audio CXN v2. My music preferences are , Jazz , slow blues , Saxophone and lounge / house music. Classic rock on occasion. 

Thank you in advance and I look forward to all your inputs.

This is a "How do you like my new wife question". Too late for my input.

I have a Evo 400 preamp and McIntosh MC402 amp and really enjoy the combination.  Not familiar with your speakers or heard a MC1502 amp but I doubt you'll find it a bad match.

@stereo5 , 

Hi Stereo , The Primaluna was a planned purchase. The 1502 was a gift from the family.
Sonically , I really liked the sound of both, I chose the PL purely because of potential domestic  logistics . The Mcintosh weighs in excess of 100 pounds. The PL weighs just over 50.
