LSi25's for a tube amp?
I have a VTA ST-120 tube amp that puts out 60 wpc and a Cary SLP 03 preamp. I'm looking for speakers to use with this setup. I already have LSiM 703's on my Yamaha CA-2010 integrated amp and I'd like to keep those on that setup.
I'm told that I should get more efficient speakers for the tube amp such as Klipsch Heresy's but I'm not sure I'd really like the sound. I see I can a pair of LSi25's off of Polk Audio Ebay. Would be a good speaker to use with a tube amp? I'm thinking they may since they have a built in powered subwoofer so I'm thinking I don't need to use tube power to drive speakers for lower frequencies.
Opinions please?

Just thought of something. Are the subwoofers connected to separate speaker outputs on a receiver? If not what is the standard setup with an LSi25's? Would I maybe be better using the LSi25's with the Yamaha CA-2010?
