What qualities stand out in really good solid state preamps?
@hilde45  Have you ever considered a hybrid preamp?  I just bought a PS Audio BHK Signature preamp and it has a couple of 12au7’s for the input and mosfet’s for the output. Only had it a couple of days, but I am really enjoying it so far.

Luxman leaves me wanting

If I win Powerball, I’d love to try those $550K babies.  Even if they don’t sound all that great, they look great. IMHO.  
Speakers to pair with Quicksilver mid mono
Another vote for JBL or Klispch.  The current JBL, LS100’s can be had for@$2000 and the Klispch Hersey lV’s for a bit more.  Although you might want a sub with the Heresy’s.  Darn it, the spell check keeps changing the name. All the best.
