Hello Nab2,
I had seen your initial post, but I didn't respond as I have no particular knowledge of how various preamps tend to synergize with McIntosh amps.
I would just suggest, though, that your questions would be seen by a vastly larger audience if you posted them in the regular part of the Forum, rather than in the Insider section.
Also, when you consider alternative preamps I would keep in mind that the 22K input impedance of your amps is too low to be optimal for some tube-based models.
Good luck. Regards,
-- Al
