Best tube preamplifier for under $15k
My preamp sounds better than any of the above previouslymentioned units. It is a lot less money too.Yep, I do not use one. If I change my mind I will use a Supratek.

Affordable US Made Tube Pre/Power or Integrated Options
If you are patient you can get a used Pass Labs XA25 for$3k. Then you still need a preamp and whoops-there goes thebudget. But Wait! If you don't have multiple sources the screwthe preamp. Remote will have to be via your other sources. 
Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in

I am also curious to try biamping  a pair of quality, 250 wpc+,  class D Monoblocks bi-wired into the Bass terminals of my older Tannoy FSMs.I would use my Pass Labs XA25 for the upper half. Any product suggestions for an option under say $2,000?
