spend more money on pre or power amp ?


if I had $10,000 to spend on a power and pre amp. Would I split it equally in two ? Or would I give 5000 to power and 10,000 to pre or vice versa ?
My system is a Wadia 21 cd player, VMPS RM 40's and a classe CAV 150. I find the system sounding quite harsh. Any help with this.

I'd buy the amp that made my speakers sing with whatever it took, and buy the pre with whatever was leftover. Then, when funds allow, you could buy the pre that fits the system best. You can buy a lot of amp for much less than 10K so you should be able to take my approach and maybe even get the perfect pre as well.
