Good match preamp for Pass labs 250.5


I just got my Pass labs 250.5 few weeks ago, I'm looking for the right preamp to match it. I'm thinking about the X-1, can anyone give me some advices to find a right preamp? I'm using the B&W N804 speaker. Thank you!

Is there a problem matching a Cary SLP 05 with Pass Labs X250.5?

The output impedance is 400 ohms for the SLP 05 and the input impedance is 30 kOhms.

The reason I am asking is I have just tried matching my Cary SLP 05 with a Jeff Rowland 625 (input impedance 10 kOhms) over the weekend and the bass was too boomy and dirty. It worked better with a Primare A 34.2 (input impedance 15 kOhms) except the bass di not have enough slam.

Speakers are Vienna Acoustics Kiss.
