McIntosh Guy Going Tubes? (Maybe?)

Need some thoughts, comments, advice: present system (mainly McIntosh): Wilson Sabrina’s, MC601 monos, C52 pre, MEN220 room cor, MB50 streamer, MCD80 spinner, PSAudio P10 regenerator. My thoughts are to go analog/tubes via MC275 MKVI monos with C2600 pre(and undefined TT). Pros - Cons?

So, There seems to be somewhat of a consensus that the first step should be a tube preamp (I’m proposing the C2600,  I still drink the Kool-Aid every day. Sorry… ), role tubes and keep my present MC601s. What difference do you think I would experience going to the tube amplifiers later?

Thanks to everyone for their great input!  I think step 1 is going to be the tube preamp only addition.  Then maybe try tube amps (monos) later. Everything made sense, was cool and my mind was made up, until the recommendation to audition the C1100 was thrown in the mix. That screed-the-pooch. Now I’m trying to sort out C2600 vs. C1100.  Any new or additional thoughts from all of you on this caveat?

 I guess that’s what drives us and our great hobby.  “THE QUEST!”
