Tube Home Theater PreAmp?

Why hasn't anyone made a HT Tube preamp? THey should. I know I would be interested.
Or a tube prepreamp to be attached to a SS DD/DTS preamp.

The latter contains 1 12AX7 per channel and has an output impedance of less than 600 Ohms. Conrad-johnson has just announced one, the MET-1, http://www.conradjohnson.com/It_just_sounds_right/index.html . I shudder to think what IT costs, but I'll bet it's the best-sounding of the bunch! .
