Amp and Pre-Amp suggestions needed

@mofojo  I am doing both analog and digital.

@jjss49  Can you tell me what is meant by line stage? I am not opposed to using the Schiit Loki as I have heard good things about it. 

@unsound Dale recommended a preamp like a Conrad Johnson PV-12 and the amp was an Antique Sound Lab Hurricane mono blocks.

As to the rest of your post, I really have no idea what impedance load and phase angle are. Their sensitivity is rated at 89db. Dale says the more power the better and that he has clients using 300 and 400 watts per channel.
 
My rooms are small like 13' x 11'. Preferred musical genres are Jazz, Pop, and Fusion.

A good friend of mine also has the TLS-1's and is using Vincent separates with great results. 

Any thoughts on how their gear stacks up to other similarly priced offerings?

Thanks all,
Joe

If they are like the old OHM Fs, you'll want some serious amps on those. A Parasound A21 at the minimum, better yet a pair of JC-1s. 

Two points:

I don't like tone controls.  When I had lower quality receiver and speakers tone controls helped a lot.  With better amp and speaker I seldom used them, but now with good gear (I think) I don't need it at all.  Lower quality systems are prone to resonances or attenuated/uneven frequencies.  Perhaps thats why the cheapest boomboxes have equalizers and quality systems don't even have tone controls.  In addition, how to control amount of double bass without changing the sound of the piano in lower registers?  If it was recorded with more or less bass or treble then it was likely intended that way.  At my age I have increasing problem of climbing the stage to adjust tone controls to my liking at the concerts :)

Second point is what kind of sound you expect.  There are two camps - pleasing sound or accurate sound (called by pleasing sound people "sterile" and "analytic").  I'm in accurate camp with Benchmark AHB2, but my brother's system is warm and wonderful.  It does not have resolution (details are masked) of my system, but it sounds very nice.  There is no right or wrong here, but you must state your preference.  In accurate camp Benchmark AHB2 beats pretty much everything within $3k.

Why not go with a beefy integrated such as a Hegel H390? I know it’s not tubes but will blow you away. Otherwise, in your price realm, fo separates, a Parasound A21+ and a tube line stage of your choice gets the job done in your $$$ realm.

If you like the sound with the Vincent separates why not keep it simple and just go with that since it’s a known factor and Vincent makes good and reasonably-priced gear?

Past that, it’s really hard to make recommendations when most of us have never heard (or even know about) your speakers or what kind sound characteristics you like or that are most important to you.  If you could at least share the latter it’d be super helpful in making more informed and meaningful recommendations.
