Tube Pre-amp Suggestions.

@kds I like a bit of clarity in my sound and the Freya+ was a bit too thick for my tastes. I did get it sounding to my sonic preference with the uber neutral Benchmark AHB2. However, other preamps sounded better to me with the AHB2, so the Freya+ was sold.

The Raven Revelation is the Don Sach (and 1 other designers) attempt at the state of the art in a tube preamp. Spatial Audio has rights to build this preamp. It has become rather popular on A’gon. Cost is a bit under $7k.

I switch between a Pass XA-25 and a Dennis Had Inspire "Firebottle" HO (high output) SEP...speakers are modded Klipsch Heresy IIIs (prefer the titanium mids in the IIIs to the poly re-designed mids in the IVs).

There are a few Audible Illusions models on the used market.  I have not heard them but consistent praise ... service, on the other hand consistent difficulty:

The Rogue RP-7 Preamplifier features two pairs of balanced XLR inputs. It also includes three pairs of RCA line level inputs. 

Another vote for Audio Research.  I have a SP9-MK2 and have been itching to get something newer and still haven’t pulled the trigger. Depending on you finances, the LS-28 is really good and of course there’s the REF series.

Oh and why are you wanting to sell 8 watts of Class A goodness?
