It's no guarantee but if you find the right combo, it can be great. A many have said, pay attention to impedance matching and spend some time rolling tubes to fine tune the sound. Currently LTA MZ3 into SPL Performer s800 and it's lovely for my Harbeth Super HL5+ speakers.

Love it. Have been able to alter the sonics somewhat by rolling various tubes to get things to my liking which to me is an advantageous, interesting and fun benefit of the tube pre approach.
