Solid State or Tube Preamp mated with Tube Monos?

Just wanted your opinions on partnering "tube monoblocks with a solid state preamp" versus "tube monoblocks with a tube preamp." We currently use Wolcott Tube Monoblocks with a beautiful sounding Threshold Stasis R5 preamp; however, I just want to get a sense of the possibilities -- good and bad -- transitioning to a tube preamp mated with the Wolcott monos. Thank you.

Somut, of course I recommend tube preamps over transistor as being more musical :) but whatever you've heard in the past, keep an open mind and for best results audition the preamp at home with your gear rather than anywhere else.

Happy hunting!
