A tube pre amp with your Cornwalls would be an excellent move.
As the proud owner of a pair of K-horns I bought new 42 years ago, I can tell you Klipsch speakers respond well to tubed gear. In fact , I use all tubes with the exception of a Mac 250 that I use to power the bass on my bi-amped speakers.
I use an Eastern Electric tube pre-amp. The build quality is unbelievable, sound is fantastic, and you can tube roll to your hearts content. I have found in most instances my pair of Telefunken 12au7s sound the best out of close to a dozen different brands that I roll, Mullard included. (better bass, stone quiet).
I bought mine 15 years ago, absolutely love it. I'm sure you would too! Enjoy!!!
