D’Agostino amp with Spectral preamp


Is trying to run a D’Agostino amp with a Spectral totally not doable?  The reason I ask is that I was thinking of adding the amp in my system first then getting the Dag preamp or a tube pre later. Later is much later like a year. Do you think this would sound terrible?

I used to have 2 pairs of D'Agostino Momentum M400 monoblock amps driving the Wilson Alexx at the time and was using the ARC Reference 10 linestage preamp at the time. They paired really well together between the Dag Momentum M400 monoblocks and the ARC Ref 10 preamp with the Wilson Alexx speakers I had at the time. I highly recommend pairing the Dag amps with the ARC Ref 10 or Ref 6 linestage preamps. Before using the ARC Ref 10 preamp I was originally using the matching Dag Momentum linestage preamp but I preferred the ARC Ref 10 pre paired with the Dag Momentum M400 monoblock amps on the Wilson Alexx speakers. They sounded better together IMO.
