Which speaker to match Rotel 06 series?

[wchek]

I am looking for a suitable amp and sub to match with either Sonus Faber Concertino Domus or ProAc Tablette Reference 8 speaker.

Under consideration is the Rotel 06 series (RCD06 cd player, RC06 pre, RB06 power amp). Which set of speaker is a better match?

I will also need a sub to complement the bookshelf. Now looking at REL Quake or Velodyne VX10. Is sub-amp matching necessary too?

For HT purposes, i will be adding a receiver, center and surround speaker in future when budget allows. Can the Rotel 06 be easily integrated with a receiver such as Yamaha RX-V861 or Harmon Kardon?

Please help... Thanks!

those two are better with tube amp
if you had Rotel find some BW speaerker like 704

Thank you for the advice. I am a newbie in the audio world so pls allow me to ask some stupid questions here.

What are the factors that affect amp and speaker matching? Why is the SF and ProAc better with tube amp?

Yeah B&W are a good mix with Rotel stuff. Never heard Proacs paired with Rotel. The studio 140s like a lot of juice, and have usually been paired with SS 100w+

Unfortunately I can't comment on the ref 8s.
