Please help tube amp for panels and SS for woofer

I finally had a chance to buy two Wolcott monoblocks, which I plan to use to drive the panels of my ML Prodigy.
The two bridged Bel Cantos which did the job before, will be used to drive the woofers.
Are there any ML owners out there who have done this, using tube amps for panels and SS for the woofers?
I understand that I can run into problems here with the different gain and sensitivity of the two amps.
How do I solve the problem? With an active crossover, and if yes, which one, or is there another solution to my problem?

IMHO the Wolcotts are so good I don't think you need the Becantos on the bottom. Can you try them like this?

Although I have not heard the Wolcott's on the ML's, I have on the tough to drive Magnepan's. They were incredible. I do not think you will need any other amplifiers, just new interconnects and speaker cables. :)

Jonathan, seriously please. Is there any reason why I should choose different cables than the HMS Grand Finale with the Wolcott? Has it to do with the specs of the new Wolcott?
I am open to any suggestions, since the reason that I sell HMS and believe that these are great cables, does not mean that I will not listen to suggestions of other people.
So please tell me what you know about these Wolcott amps and what cables you would suggest and why you would recommend these cables.
