Some things to think about...
First: when somebody says that a speaker sounds better with a tube amp , there is more to it than just the tone .
There are different types of power delivered by different types of amps ie. voltage vs current . Some speakers are designed with this in mind .
It can be useful to find out , from the manufacturer/designer , what type of amplification was used to design the speaker .
Second: tube amps can take @ 1/2 to 1 hour to warm up to sound their best . Some SS amps can take days which is why some have 'standby mode'. Is your father the type to leave his equipment on , or will he turn it off when he is finished ?
Third: there are quite a few tube amps now that take all of the 'complexities' out of their operation with automatic biasing and protection circuits .Pretty much plug-n-play like anything else . And you are able to tailor the sound to your individual taste by tube swapping or 'rolling' .
A very admirable task ! I am sure your Father will be quite happy .
Good Luck .
