Yamamoto A-08s and preamp CA-04

I have recently ordered a Yamamoto A-08s 45 tube amp and a Yamamoto CA-04 preamp. I have Avantgarde Trio 109db speakers.

Anyone have experience with these? Any advice?

(They are delivering in 16 weeks!)

He also liked the 71A (half the power of the 45). I bought a pair of Heresy's to use with my SE 45 and 2A3 amps.

I have the AG Duo Mezzo XD speakers and the active subwoofers are giving me a slight and audible hum with my Triode Lab 45 EVO from the listening position. Would be great to know, if the Yamamoto is silent on your active subwoofers?
