Pass X-250 and Tube Preamp

I am thinking about a Pass X-250. I noticed it has a very low input impedance. How do you think it would match with a tube preamp?

Happy Listening.

I owned the X-250 for a few years and compared a bunch of tube preamps to the X-1 preamp. Lamm LL2, Blue Circle B-3 MKII, ARC LS-25 MKII, Counterpoint SA-5000, Joule LA-150, BAT VK-30SE, and a few more that I cannot recall right now. That being said, they all worked just fine. I even tried a few passive preamps that also worked pretty well but there was a slight gain issue with these but not real bad unless you listen to music really really loud. Happy Listening.
