Pre amp and Power amp advice needed

Hej

I’m looking for a tube pre amp and a tube power amp. A suggestion that I’ve got are Rogue Audio RP-5 + Atlas Magnum II. This is just within my budget. But I don’t think I will be using KT-120 because EL34 is the type of tube I really like.
Today I have a Line Magnetic LM-34ia, but I’m tired of all the hassle with bad soldering and problems with the balance sliding to the right. The unit has been away for repairing for two month now. This time.
Any suggestions?

The speakers are Tannoy Legacy Eaton. Slightly rolled of and slightly dark sounding (says some).

If McIntosh proves to be too expensive new or used.

Ravin Audio. 

Rodgers High Fidelity

With Raven Audio and Rodgers High Fidelity it's the same as many other US brands, you don't find them in Sweden. McIntosh...I don't think they are the best bang for the buck, or...? 
Yes, tubes is the way to go. I tried once and now I'm hooked ;)

w/o knowing the sensitivity level  its dif to suggest a  tube amp. just listened toa  YT upload of Tannoy's, its not my style of sound
Whats important is IF you like the Tannoy, not what I like in a  speaker. 
I will suggest intergrated tube as best deal, Separates are a  expensive setup.
