What makes more sense?


I was thinking about my next upgrades. What makes more sense:
Tube preamp with ss amp
ss preamp with tube amp.

I want to introduce tubes into my system, but I do some hometheatre also. My speakers are 87db sensitivty.

Thinking about getting a SF line one and a Musical Fidelity A3.2CR power amp.
What do you think?
Currently have sonus faber speakers, B&K reference preamp.

Personally, I did not like a tube pre with SS amp, hated it actually. I highly suggest picking up the Musical Fidelity A3.2 preamp, you'll love it. The Musical Fidelity A3 amp may not have enough power for your speakers (it didn't with mine, also 87dB sensitivity, but I play very loud, dynamic and bass heavy music), unless you can run with 2 of them, in which case I suggest you pick up the amps as well and prepare to be impressed. I would also highly suggest the Odyssey Stratos amp as well, 2ch or monoblocks.
