I have a setup that is similar to what you are suggesting.
A cary slp-05 tube pre into a innersound esl 300 (sanders esl 300) that powers a pair of magnepan 3.7 speakers augmented by a pair of velodyne dd8 subs. It is a very nice sounding setup and you can tailor the sound of the system to your liking by rolling various nos and new 6sn7 tubes in the cary tube pre. The cary tube pre and sanders amp are a great match through both the rca and balanced connections.
