Thiel 2.4 & Theta Dreadnaught II combination Pre-A


I just bought Thiel 2.4. After looking at some of the reviews, I think I will go with Theta Dreadnaught II for my stereo amp. Any suggestion for pre-amp, I like the sound of tubes, and also consider the VTL 5.5.
I heard Thiel is good for tube pre and SS amp combination.
Price range is $4000.

Thanks

Great speaker/amp combination! I have 3.6's with Enterprises, and I believe that Thiel and Theta go great together. I have read good things about the VTL, but have not heard it. However, my thought would be to go with an Audio Research pre. I have heard these with Thiels, and they are a very good match.

My current preamp is a Rotel RSP-1066. However, it too will fall to my most recent case of upgraditis. If I go the pre/pro route (which I likely will), I am looking at either a Krell HTS 7.1 or Theta CasablancaIII. But I might stick with the Rotel and add a good 2-channel pre, in which case I would get an Audio Research (not sure which model yet).
