Sanders 10c/d + Magtech + tube preamp


Hi everyone,
I am considering to buy a full system from Roger, but I thought about using a tube preamp instead of sanders' preamp. Anyone has an experience with a combination of the 10c/d speakers + Magtech with tube preamp? Do you have any recommendations?

One of the most effective attribuites of Rogers design (and why his stats perform so incredibly well) is the external crossover. You really don't want your amps "seeing" a crossover. You want it "seeing" the drivers.
Cerrot, i really don't understand this
The x-overs is external - ok. so, you can tweak it & control it much better compared to it being inside the speaker. But still your amp will drive the external x-over & the external x-over will be connected to the speaker (with short leads, very often). Your amp will still see the x-over & not the driver. I'm not sure i understand how an external x-over will make the amp "see" the driver?? can you explain? thanks.
Thanks, Cerrot. got it!
looks like Roger uses active x-overs that use a line level signal from the preamp. I thought, for some reason, that Roger was using passive x-overs. not the case.
