... whether the speakers or the pre would be the better path, that's a tough one. If it were me and I liked the speakers, I'd say the tube pre would be the path. If I didn't like the speakers, that would be another matter. I tend to keep speakers I like a lot longer than other gear. They retain thier basic characteristics through the swaps of other components.It's amazing (to me) how much a good tube pre influences the overall system; synergy being everything, of course. One of the nice things about a tube pre, especially like the Bottlehead with 12au7's, is there is almost unlimited opportunities for tube rolling to adjust the sonic flavor to your preference, or to try something new.
Perhaps you might try a used Bottlehead FP if you want to see what it does for your system. There are usually a few on audiogon for a couple of hundred dollars. There are others in the same price range but I have not found anything that delivers the same level of music for the price. However, if you are unhappy with your speakers, you'll probably be unhappy no matter what else you change.
I haven't owned a pre with a remote; although, I think you'll start getting up in the dollars at that point.
