In a smaller room, I have been enjoying the SHL5+ with Red Wine Audio 30.2 LFP-V and Isabella preamp. The 30.2 alone is very good but adding the preamp made for a more expansive sound stage and also more texture for the individual instruments, IMO. I went from another extreme with Belles 350A and 21A with auricap preamp (lots of clean power). I prefer the Red Wine Audio combination better.
