The Bottlehead Paramount 300B will do very nice with your speakers but... they may run out of gas with your speakers on certain very large orchestral pieces. Not mentioning the 2A3 aspect here as the lowest I would go is around a 92dB sensitivity with that setup. I also have the Bottlehead Stereomour 2A3 and they are glorious on full range speakers such as the Hornshoppes or the Frugal Horns. A sub would be nice with that mix. Having speakers with a greater than 95dB range would be sweet! Dreaming of Klipschorns...
As for the last question I have found that a tubed preamp hooked up to a good solid state amp is the way to go. The preamp will really be the voicing part and the amp just makes that louder. Had some Onkyo monsters a while ago and bypassed the preamp stage and used a Transcendent Sound Grounded Grid preamp using 3 12AU7 tubes and was awestruck! That amp had never sounded that good!
