CJ PV-5 work well with B&K, Aragon, Mcormack?

Thanks much.

Mechans, a Marantz 8B, stock.

Mechans, would a passive work, or would I need an active for that?

There is the Lightspeed Attenuator.

I used a PV5 with an Aragon and NAD amps. Its been a while, but I liked the combo for many years (used to drive klipsch, then appogee speakers). I have also owned the BK ST140 and McCormack DNA .5 at different times. IMO, the B&K has the most tube like sound, followed by the McCormack then Aragon. I would opt for the McCormack as I believe it is the best amp by a wide margin, but all sound good. Cheers.
