Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp?


New in the field. I am wondering what is most important: a great amplifier with a good preamplifier, or a good amp, with a great preamplifier? Or should I look at a good amp with a great do certain brands make amplifier to go with preamplifier and receivers?
Thank you kindly.

IMO, if your system is passive preamp friendly, spend the majority of your $ on the amp. Great passives can be had/made on the cheap.
