Tube Preamp vs Solid State


I am in the process of choosing the right preamp for my system.
Speakers are Thiel CS 3.7, stereo amp Karan KAS 600 and source Ayon S5 network player.
Having a Karan solid state amp i can either take their KA-L Rerefence Mk3 preamp or go the tube way with a VAC Signature Mk2.
Will i benefit more mating the VAC preamp with my solid state amp ?
Any experience on the subject is welcome.
Thanks.

Good advice above. I prefer a tube preamp with a solid state power amp but there are some very good solid state preamps out there. As mentioned, experiment with both.
Yes I own a VTL 2.5 preamp and love it. It renders a huge, full soundstage if the power amp is up to it and has a wonderful midrange.
