Tube pre into SS Amps for Home Theater?

I have purchased a stand alone home theater processor that relies upon an outboard preamp. Currently, my HT amplifiers are SS. Would I have any special problems using a tubed preamp to run this 5.1 channel system, that are different from the ones normally encountered when running tubed pre into 2 channel SS amplifiers?

Thanks in advance

I use an ARC Ref2 and an ML333 and it sounds wonderful. Most prefer this combination to the ARC tube power amp I own.
Good luck

I think that tube preamp is only way to go with SS amp. IT tones down the brightness of the solid state. I use a Audio expressions Symphonies tube pre with a mac 2100 SS
