It is true that the Paradox series kits are a better match with most tube amps because many of them tend to be a little laid back and soft on the top end.But, the A/V series kits also sound great on tube amps. We drive them with our tubes and pure class A amps everyday.
As for the system you are looking at:
That little 8 watt amp will drive our Paradox-1 or A/V-1 to only moderate levels. It may cut it for you if you have a really small room.
Our Paradox-1+ or A/V-1+ (the MTM versions) will give you the stronger sensitivity you need to get good solid output levels with that amp, but only if that amp is capable of handling the lower 4 ohm impedance load of those two designs.
Either our Paradox-3 or A/V-3 might be a better choice in that it will give you the higher sensitivity and the higher 8 ohm impedance that I am sure that amp will prefer.
These two designs are really the jewels yet to be discovered by the Asylum members and could be considered by some to be among our best kits. These are also much better models to be used as a stand alone pair without the need for a sub.
