Preamp - what's the purpose?
It is all about system matching.  BUT IMO, preamps do more that what has been already stated above.  A good preamp will add dynamics, loud to soft to loud contract, speed, soundstage dimension - front to back - side to side, tone, separation of vo... 
Help . . . I’m dumber than my active speakers!
The Ref 6 IMO is not a preamp that generally will give you a very open sound stage and that may be why you are hearing what you are hearing.   Happy Listening.
