I got the bug.. but need some input


I bought a new pair of paradigm studio 40 v4, but they just don't sound the same as my mini-monitors did with my Marantz sr5600. The minis sounded great with that amp, but there is something missing with the 40's. I would also like to bi-amp the 40's, so I am leaning towards a Sunfire TGA-7200 for an amp. I would also like to have a tube preamp, and that's where my head is spinning. I understand that the function of the preamp is to bring the source up to line level and feed it to the amp. But do I need a special tube preamp to feed into a 7 channel amp? I would at some point be adding HSU subwoofer. I have been looking at the used Cary preamps here and they look delicious. I need to keep the price down around 1200.00 dollars. Also any suggestions or input is greatly appreciated.
