Preamp Matching?


I recently posted a question asking for the best SS 200 wpc amp. I am now wondering the importance of mating the preamp with the amp and how to understand the specs to understand this relationship. A review of the McCormack DNA-225 states that it would mate well with a passive preamp but Steve emailed me and said that my BAT VK-30SE would also mate well with that amp (something about the volume control unit specs). So, I am confused. How much importance should be placed on this?

I haven't heard the 30se, but my 3i sounds aweful nice with my DNA1.0 Rev. B. I've never been too much on specs.
