Pre amp and Power amp advice needed

Hej

I’m looking for a tube pre amp and a tube power amp. A suggestion that I’ve got are Rogue Audio RP-5 + Atlas Magnum II. This is just within my budget. But I don’t think I will be using KT-120 because EL34 is the type of tube I really like.
Today I have a Line Magnetic LM-34ia, but I’m tired of all the hassle with bad soldering and problems with the balance sliding to the right. The unit has been away for repairing for two month now. This time.
Any suggestions?

The speakers are Tannoy Legacy Eaton. Slightly rolled of and slightly dark sounding (says some).

If you want pieces that won’t live in the shop, stick with Rogue (most affordable), Luxman, VTL, CJ, or Audio Research.
Avoid anything made in China!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Triode designs require gawd aweful speaker designs, usual involving horns (squawwwwk) or multiple cheap drivers with massive crossover induced distortion (Tekton).
