Actually the MC901 is based on same premise of what I long believed to be true in this hobby , at least for me. It's extremely hard to beat the midrange and treble of a well designed tube amp but like you said the bass is best handled by a solid state amp. This is exactly how I built and conceived my current system : MC75 mk3 mono on Harbeh for midrange and treble ( although technically it's output is full-range) but I have single MartinLogan Dynamo 1100x augmenting lowest octave. All this is tied together by C2700. To my ears it's a dream system for me and my end game. Will never let this go.
