Simaudio preamp for Theta and Snell?

Looking to upgrade the pre-amp, currently an Adcom GFP-750. Theta front end and Theta Dread-2 amp, Snell C/V speakers. I may swap out the Dread for a Sim Titan if one comes available I can afford, but for now let's assume the current setup. I was thinking of a Simaudio P-5. Is that a good match? I had been holding out for a used Supratek, but now that they're gone under, I'll need something else. Any other suggestions welcome as well. It will have to have remote volume and an HT bpass. Thanks. -Dave

The Snell CVs are fairly efficient, but sound much better with plenty of power. I have a pair in my second system.
Used to drive them with a Thesold S500; adn later swtiched to a parasound 3500, which gave greater dynamics. Pre amp was a CJ PV10; quite a musical sounding system.

Other suggestion would be the AI Modulus 3a.
