Preamp input needed


Hi all,
I am in the market for a new/used amp. Pricerange ~2800.
I currently run Pass Aleph 0 mono blocks, a Denon DCD 16something, AMT Kithara speakers, Audible Illusions Modulus...
My car was broken into and the Modulus stolen. So I could get a new 3A (~2800).. or anything else in that price range

I narrowed it down to:
ACR LS16MKII
LS25MKII
Pass X1
Audible Illusions L2 or Modulus 3A
Tact RCS 2.0AA

Hmmm I really don't like overly analytic sound... no mush either. I really liked my old setup.... However the Pass X1 is mighty tempting... so is the TACT RCS....

Opinions please

I think that if you're looking at the ARC line up, you can do better than the LS25 and LS16 for a little less money. Do a search on the ARC LS5 Mk III. The LS 5 Mk III's only competition in the ARC line-up is the REF 1 and 2. If you're not looking for analytical, the LS5 has that tube magic sound in spades over the LS25 and LS16. Something elese to consider. Good Luck.
