Octave HP-700se and Accuphase C-2150 Preamp Question

I have the Octave HP700 with the MRE220 monoblocs and love it- Very neutral but has great depth and width to the soundstage.   Of course everything is system dependent.   I suggest trying them both in your system is you can.

Appreciate your input. Unfortunately can’t audition and there is a 20% restocking fee. This is a surreal situation, can’t find anything I want here in the US, even though the budget is pretty high for my standards.

This proly doesn’t help much but: Several years ago I went to RMAF in Denver. I sat in a listened to many rigs and the one that impressed me the most was the Octave gear with Dynaudio speakers. Just absolute speaker control.
