Back to the original poster's question, it would be good if Jaime could tell us a little more about which Tannoy speakers he has, what size room they are being used in, and what type of music he listens to.
Classical typically has much greater dynamic range than pop or rock, and given that there is little need to provide huge dynamic headroom to cope with peaks. IMO it is better to optimise the system around the volume level required in the room with the typical programme material to be used. My recommendation for the Rogue Chronus is based on it being a good sonic match for the SBT and Tannoys, as well as being a simple to use solution, but I suggest that the OP listens to a few amps before making a decision on integrated, pre/power or power amp only set ups for his system. Personally I think the SBT analogue outputs sound a little thin and two dimensional compared to my DAC so I think the preamp isn't going to be holding the sound back.
