Thinking of going 2-CH from HT....Tube ?

I have a Marantz SR6200 with Mordaunt short MS-908 speakers for primary towers. I am upgrading my turntable to a Music Hall 5.1 soon and am thinking of getting a Jolida 1501RC to run the vinyl on a 2-ch system. I would get an amp switcher so I can use the Marantz for HT and then the Jolida for music only. I know tubes are warmer sounding in general, but do you think it's worth it to get a Jolida or will the difference between the Marantz and Jolida not be enough to warrant the cost? The Marantz has a source direct and a decent 2-channel option. BTW I have an older NAD PP-1 pre-amp but am thinking of getting a tube pre-amp. What would you do? I am new to this so sorry if this is a boring question! Thanks a lot for the help

Hey man, I have a Marantz SR7001, and I bought a Grant Fidelity Tube Buffer to warm up the sound before it hits the Marantz. I think it sounds amazing, adds warmth, and leaves bass control tight. Just another option for ya without investing too much.
