Combination McIntosh tube amp with SS preamp?

I've gone the other direction with great results - solid state CODA amplifier and Audio Note L3 tube preamplifier.

I have a Prima Luna tube power amp with a Musical Fidelity PRE CD 24 solid state preamp/ cd player. I have had this combination in use for 8 or 9 years now. Not as powerful as having it the other way around, but the sound is very sweet sounding. No desire to change anything around.

thanks a lot for the input, I already brought Classe CP-800 preamp, need to decide to buy the Classe CA2200 or CA2300 SS power amp or McIntosh Tube power amp instead. will power up B&W Signature Diamond Speaker.

thanks again!

Don't know how much this will help you since most of my gear is of fairly old vintage. I have a SS Mark Levinson ML-1 preamp controlling a rebuilt Mac 240 tube amp driving a pair of mid seventies Klipschorns. The sound is very clean and dynamic and I love looking at the tubes glowing at night, kind of like watching a fire on a cold winter night. Macs have always been known for their excellent output transformers. If you are buying new, maybe you could borrow a 275 from a dealer to see how you like it.
