Audio Research LS15

I´m looking for advice about an Audio Research LS15 how it sound and possible match to my speakers JBL ti 250 (first model) I like a big soundstage and a lot of dynamics and no edgy top. i know my ti can be some hard in the top. Is this a good preamplifier for my taste. This in black and I really like the way it looks. The price is aout 2100$ shipped to my door, is the price right or should I go for a newer model. There is new tubes and cooler mounted and the original is also with. I´m not really sure about what amplifier I will come out with, maybe I´ll try parasound HCA 2200II to begin with.
Best regards quasimodo on my first post here :)

Thank´s for your answer, I thought it was in the upper end. I listen to most music and want to play acoustics as well as hard rock. I want a big and wide scene with a big deep, pounch in the bottom and a smooth upper end with air. I also want to separate the instrumets as well. I´m really "scared" of the s-sound in the top. Is it worth lookin for a LS17 or a LS5 mkIII instead. The LS15 has new Electro Harmonix Gold Pin 6922 Valves with New Valve Coolers.
Thank´s again

Thank you all for the inputs. I may get my hands on a LS 17 for about 2800$, is it worth the money? I also start look for Mark Levinson and a 38S might work for just a litle more money as the LS15. I really like my old JBL and like the way sey sing except the top sometimes gets nasty.
