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.

"Moreover, the sound of the pieces together seem to approach perfection to a closer degree than other tube and solid state setups we've had."

That's what it's all about. Be careful when you are this close. However, if you are thinking of a change, are you wanting a sharper sound or a softer sound?
