A tubed preamp will give you that tooby sound and a solid state amp will provide slam and control of your speakers- at 87db, you could use a little oomph to get them going. Preamp tubes are also much cheaper than power tubes and last longer too.
What makes more sense?
I was thinking about my next upgrades. What makes more sense:
Tube preamp with ss amp
ss preamp with tube amp.
I want to introduce tubes into my system, but I do some hometheatre also. My speakers are 87db sensitivty.
Thinking about getting a SF line one and a Musical Fidelity A3.2CR power amp.
