the mosfet amp is an excellent performer. I would leave this amp in the system and possible try an affordable tube pre such as a used Conrad Johnson or Audio Research or any of the Golden age of tube preamps of there day. Your amp is a keeper in my opinion for it's ability to drive difficult loads such as planers,and cones such as yours. I would also suggest if your just using a cd based system then using a cd player with volume control. Now if tubes are out because reasons not mentioned then Classe's older gear preamps DR-5,6 or older SS preamp models might serve you well.But by all means keep the amp you will always be able to buy any hard driven speaker and know you have the power and may the force be with you.
