spend more money on pre or power amp ?

if I had $10,000 to spend on a power and pre amp. Would I split it equally in two ? Or would I give 5000 to power and 10,000 to pre or vice versa ?
My system is a Wadia 21 cd player, VMPS RM 40's and a classe CAV 150. I find the system sounding quite harsh. Any help with this.

A low cost USED tube pre-amp, an older Cary, or CJ or AR would work wonders for the harshness, retain the better points of SS and mostly eliminate the harshness.

Besides if you don't like it sell it and you won't lose but a little pocket change.

Audiogon, the source for those that just can't make up their mind. It's why I'm here.
