Hovland HP 200 vs. Cary SLP 05


Any thoughts on which preamp (Hovland HP 200 vs. Cary SLP 05) is more suitable for a system of Krell FPB 200c driving Dynaudio Contour S3.4's ? Previous pre was Krell KRC which was too neutral for me. I'm looking for more tube dimensionality and warmth. Both cost about the same 2nd hand I think and have balanced inputs and outputs which I need. The drawback with the Hovland is that the company is now defunct.

I believe Hovland went out of business. Something to consider if you ever have an issue with the piece down the road..
