PRE_AMP for ATC- actives??


I am running the AC-100's for my main speakers( full 7.2 ATC for movies) would like to separate 2 channel and movies- I am using the Meridian 861 for everything now and was thinking about getting a pre just for music- I have heard that ATC has problems with tube Pre-amps??- Was thinking of the AR REF3 to soften the sound?- any rec. would be very helpful- thanks

I have heard that the ATC because of their built in amps that only certain PRe's will work with them? does that make sense and what are the guidelines??
I thought that because of the 10 ohm impedance on the ATC that only pre's that have roughly 100 ohm output and low gain would work well- I thought I read that somewhere- is this not true??
