I run tube amps with a solid state pre. I have nothing but good to say of the
combination.
A few years ago I auditioned Keilidhs with the Linn amps you mention, in
single, passive and active biamp rigs. My conclusion was that (preamp aside),
even when comparing single-amp with an active biamp configuration, the
quality of the power amp was the number one factor for musical sound.
The Rogues have an excellent reputation and I would expect them to give you
sound a few levels up from the Linns. I would be very interested in knowing
your impressions once you got your new setup.
