Preamp Advice for my System

I am considering changing the preamp in my system. I have a BAT-42KSE and have started to look for something different. How would you compare a Pass X1, Bryston BP-26, or Classe CP-800 to the BAT?  How are those 3 different from each other. The BAT sounds a little laid back to my ears.

I owned the BAT 42KSE and thought it was a real fine unit. I did not find it laid back as you are describing it. I was using it with Bryston 7B-SST and the speakers were Thiel SCS4 and previously Revel Salon1.

Maybe you should check out a different amp with the 42KSE. I sold mine due to down sizing and I knew I would miss the BAT, I did.
