Pairing surround processor with tube power amp


Hi,
Does anybody here has experience pairing surround sound processor, such as Krell or McIntosh with tube power amps? I am currently using CJ Premier 12 monoblocks with JM Lab speakers. In stead of connect a HT multichannel amp bypassing the stereo pre-amp, I am wondering what will happen if I just use the surround processor?

Thank you!

I have tried what you are talking about with a Meridian 568 connect to a Vac PA 90 without using a two channel preamp. I my case I liked the preamp (Calypso) inserted into the chain. Each has his own preferences.
