Getting new Preamp


Need a little help in making a decision on purchasing a New Audio Research LS 27 or Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme 1.2? I am using Solid State Amps -Aragon Palladium on the Highs, 8008 on the Low End(newer version).Infinity Epsilion Speakers.
Open for For suggestions.

Just my $0.02, but there is absolutely no logical reason for a modern power amp to have less than a 47K Ohm input impedance. A lower input impedance makes it very difficult to mate a preamp (particularly from a different manufacturer) to drive the power amp properly, presuming the ratio of 10:1 is used. This is particularly true in the OP's specific situation of biamping.
