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?

What's the output impedance for the preamp and the input impedance for the power amp?  I could look it up, but so could you.

There shouldn't be an impedance mismatch.  If I recall correctly Spectral preamps can work well with non-Spectral amps, but Spectral amps should always be used with Spectral preamps (and interconnects).  Spectral believes in wide bandwidth performance which can unsettle some equipment.  Good luck.
