best sounding tube pre and ss amp youve heard.

Hi,friends and i made tests comparing spectral dmc6 and dma 180,on duns 4as and wlsons w/p5,with audible illusion L2 and quick silvers v4s.The spectral gear was holding its end quite ok but the tube gear really revealed more transparency and musicality and sounded relaxed compared to spectral gear.But few hours after of listening and comparing we couldnt stay in my 23x12x9,4 foot ceiling living room.So my question is what would be the best ss amp match for a tube pre Shindo aurieges which im planning to buy,apparently people rave about the shindo.Didnt hear yet but will soon.Any suggestion is welcomed.pat
