tube preamp used with HT


Looking to get a tube preamp for better 2 channel that I can pass a HT signal through? Interested in the BAT vk30 and mccormack rld, though this is SS. Any advice appreciated.

I'm using a McIntosh C-2200 with HT pass thru and very happy with the unit especially in 2 channel.
I like the looks of the sonic frontiers, but the poor quality reviews on audioreview concern me. How about bel canto sep 1?
