New preamplifier - Backert Rhumba Extreme, Aesthetix Calypso Signature, Ayre KX5 Twenty

I’m planning to listen to a few preamplifiers in the coming weeks. I want to replace my Parasound P6 preamplifier and A23 power amplifier.  These are currently feeding my Vandersteen Quatro CTs.  I have a 16 by 26 listening room. Digital source is a Bluesound NodeX and my vinyl rig is a new Modwright PH 9.0XT.  Fed by a Technics 1210GR with Hana SL cartridge. Also have a VPI Prime Scout with Ortofon Black mm cartridge.  Home theater is a must in my system that currently servers double duty with home theater.

Has anybody compared these three preamplifiers?   I also plan to soon pick a companion amplifier as part of this major upgrade.   
 

I had a strong lean to the Backert without hearing.  Solely based on discussion and feedback.  Recently after discussing with a few dealers the Aesthetix system is a rising candidate.  (Calypso signature preamp with Atlas Signature or Atlas Eclipse Amplifier)

I was thinking of pairing the Backert Rhumba Extreme with the Ayre VX5-Twenty amplifier  

I listen to a wide variety of music from Jazz to Blues. Classical has been finding its way more into my rotation. 
 

Recent retired this is my end game system. No plan for upgrade cycle two years down the road.   I’ll tackle the turntable and digital next year Vega S1 and VPI Signature 21 candidates at this time. 

Has anybody compared  these components or have some thoughts on their sound signatures?  I want Stevie Ray in the room with me!

Thanks - David
