Tubes on top and Class D on the bottom

I am curious about an experiment involving tubes for the tweeter midrange and Class D Bel Canto M300s) on the woofers of my Von Schweikert VR-4JRs. After reading about the little Miniwatt N3, which is an integrated amp, can I use it for level matching? I would be feeding a signal from a Modwright SWL 9.0 tubes pre-amp to both amps. Or, would I blow everything up in the process, like Mister Wizard?

Tgrisham, I think it all depends on the power output. Now for an amp that simply goes below 20Hz... well, most of them do. But to play 20Hz properly you usually need to go lower than that. There are many tube amps that go to 10Hz. The thing that really helps a tube amp to play bass though is simply to make sure the load at low frequencies is not difficult to drive. That makes all the difference in the world.
