Tube integrateds & Tube Preamp from Conrad Johnson

In your price range I would suggest a used cj premier 17ls series I tubed pre-amp. I believe there is one being advertised on audiogon as I write this (no relationship). I had a 17 in my system prior to upgrading to a 16 series II and it was very musical and dynamic. It should be a good fit for you sonus faber grand pianos don't anything about the totem's.

The CJ ACT2 is marvelous - perhaps far too neutral from the old CJ house sound for what you want but straddles the line of musicality vs resolution like nothing else I've heard. For my money and in my system simply the champeen - and I've had a large number of preamps here to compare head to head.
