High End SS Preamplifier Ayre, EMM Labs, ML, or Pass


I have Clayton M300's that I'm looking to pair with a SS preamp to drive Von Schweikert VR-5 Anni's. Looking for opinions on Ayre KX-R/Twenty, Pre2, or XP-20/30 or other as potential options (ML). Interested in members opinions on possible options. Looking for that neutral, transparent, accurate tonal harmonic musical reproduction that isn't analytical, dry, lean, or fatiguing.

You've got some great Class-A amps.  Was thinking maybe a preamp from another manufacturer who also makes Class-A amps, like Vitus?  You know he's not gonna create a pre that makes his nice amps sound anything like analytical, dry, lean, or fatiguing in the least, right?  Here's one available here now if you wanna take a look...
