building the best system I can?

4musica44107 Thanks for the suggestion I will send my question over to the digital forum. Now lets get back to amp/pre talk. I am seriously thinking of going with a mccormack dna 0.5 or .1 amp, so does anyone have any ideas on a good preamp match? Would ss or tube be best suited with the studio 20's?

I think you would be better offer considering how a given pre would match with the amp, before the speakers.

Does anyone want to give some suggestions on a a preamp for the mccormack dna amps?

It depends on the particular McCormack amp, they have differing considerations.

Unsound, what other paragigms have you heard? Just curious, as I also have studio 20's v.5, and if there are speakers that would recommend maybe I will check them out too. Also, what do you think of a classe ssp 25 pre amp mated to a classe ca 150?
