Suggestions on a pre-amp
I would support the Bryston preamp recommendation, but also will take a look at an Audible Illusions 3 if you have the chance to hear it at your system.Fernando 
Amps for Avantgarde
Gregm - I am very happy with the results of using a Jadis DA50Sig with the UNOs - there is plenty pf power, richness, tonality and resolution to fill the ver demanding AGs.I have not heard the Audiopax line yet, but really I am not in a hurry.Fern... 
Gryphon Antileon Sig Mono vs Ref One Mono
I had a Gryphon Elektra by the time I owned the Gryphon Anthileon Stereo, there are some good opportuinties once in a while here at AGON, something to consider.Fernando 
Amps for Avantgarde
I own AG Unos and tried at least half a dozen amps (SE, push pull, class A, gainclones, etc..) I have reached the best presentation with Jadis amplification (DA50signature in this case), but a pair of JA30 might just work for you.Fernando 
Gryphon Antileon Sig Mono vs Ref One Mono
I had the Anthileon Stereo and heard the Ref One at a friends place, the Anthileon has a warmer presentaion, the Ref is more precise and linear... I prefered the Anthileon with my Avalons, you should listen the entire system prior making any decis...

Review: Jadis Orchestra Reference Integrated Tube amp

Lavardin IT or Jadis DA50 Signature?

Two Subs Vs. One
If your room is large, go fo two subs - I have tried one and two subs and found a lot of differences, particulary on how two subs clean the midrange better than on trying to cope with both channel information.I might be a different animal, but the... 
Vincent SV-236 vs Rowland Concentra 2?
I have not heard the Vincent - but I am very familiar with the Concentra and Rowland 2, I do think they are very different types of amps, and would lean towards the Rowlands all the way - smooth, musical and great POO.Good Luck 
Preamplifier: Yes or NO ?
Yes - just take care of source-amp sinergy (Voltage, impendance, etc..) I run my Accuphase CDP directly to my amps, no problems, better transparency, resolution, etc. 
CD Player recommendations for a SET system
