PeterMusic,
The Sabrina's are not a good match for the MC 275. Sorry, but the impedance profile of the Sabrina just isn't tube amp friendly. Not just the 275. Any tube amp.
The good news is that you'll get that tube magic from a C22 and one of McIntosh's outstanding solid state amplifiers.
A lot of forum members here have hybrid tube / SS combinations and are more than happy with them. The best of both worlds.
The Sabrina is a fine speaker. It's bass driver is an 8" unit, certainly good for reasonable volumes in a normal room. It should sound fast, dynamic, and punchy.
It won't 'plumb the depths' as they say, so in a big room electronica and organ music may be too lightweight.
If your budget will allow for an MC 452, that would be a much better match for the Sabrina.
Rock on!
Tom
