use Dennon 2802 as pre-amp and add tube amp?


I have a Dennon 2802 with B & W 602 LRC and 300's in back LRC. I am not happy with the sound. The 2802 has pre-outs. Is it worth buying a good amp(s) to get cleaner sound?
Dave at Stereo Unlimited tells me a Tube amp would be the ticket-start with 2 amps in front and convert the backs later. Thanks in advance

I have the Denon 3300 HT amp and had the same problem.
I tried to use it as a preamp with Mcintosh SS amps and did not like that ether. I went to a tube preamp with two tube
amps and that did the trick. I run a 40 WPC push pull on
Maggie SMG's and a 5 WPC SET on JM Labs opal's. I have not
turned on the Denon in six mounths. RG Knaak
