Thiel 2.4 & Theta Dreadnaught II combination Pre-A

I just bought Thiel 2.4. After looking at some of the reviews, I think I will go with Theta Dreadnaught II for my stereo amp. Any suggestion for pre-amp, I like the sound of tubes, and also consider the VTL 5.5.
I heard Thiel is good for tube pre and SS amp combination.
Price range is $4000.

Thanks

First Sound comes in right under your budget. No remote, but great sound. That's what I use with 2.4's and SS amplification.

i heard them with the vtl 5.5 and they sounded great but at that price range you might want to try the first sound audio line stage mark II one of the best tube pre amp i heard try their website firstsoundaudio.com

Great speaker/amp combination! I have 3.6's with Enterprises, and I believe that Thiel and Theta go great together. I have read good things about the VTL, but have not heard it. However, my thought would be to go with an Audio Research pre. I have heard these with Thiels, and they are a very good match.

Thanks for the info guys. But I find it hard to find a First Sound dealer in New England area. I have to give them a call. However, there is a dealer that sells both Theta and Audio Research. I might give them a try.
Just curious Tombowlus, what do you have for pre-amp, if you don't mind me asking.
