Upgrade from Emotiva XPA1 to Bryston 28bsst2 or Pass X350.8
Hi brystonkiwi,I have Revel Studios. The best amps I've driven them with are Vincent fully balanced SP-998 Mono blocks. They driveĀ  the Studios effortlessly and have the best grip on bass I've ever heard from Power Amps. I would think they would b... 
You want the TRUTH from those Wilson Alexia's, maybe you can't handle the TRUTH
Anal/ argumentative, "sunshine"? Hardly George. Sadly it's your "fragile" ego that can't handle the truth.Still can't believe how anyone can say an Amplifier delivers the truth when they have never heard it. Very weird.Keep believing that "specs" ...

Hmm, find that a bit strange George, you've never heard the Amp, yet you say it delivers the "Truth"! I don't understand that. After many,many years I only trust what my ears, my mind and my body to tell me how good something sounds.Heard too many...

So George, have you actually heard the Amp? It's ok listing great specs. I've heard some Amps with great specs. that sound like a "crock". 
Used Audio Research Preamp Options

Used Audio Research Preamp Options
ARC have a fine pedigree in Pre-Amps and can understand the desire to own one. Tremendously reliable and upgradeable and beautifully designed, most of them have a certain " magic" about them. I still have a massively upgraded SP9Mk11 which has bee... 
Vincent SV-236MK
I must also add the Doge8 had upgraded tubes which improved it immensely. The Vincent was stock standard. 
Vincent SV-236MK
No surprise the Vincents beating out much higher priced competition. I have the the SA-T8 among my many Pre-Amps. It easily bests some highly regarded Pre's many times it's costs. The biggest "giantkiller" Pre i've ever heard. Just two days ago I ... 
Soundstage - Amp or Preamp?

Preamp for audio research ref110
For short term you could run an RCA to balanced cable from the SP9 to Ref.110. If you have a good tech you can upgrade the SP9 way past a MK.111. The phono stage especially will be light years ahead of a Mk.11, the line stage pretty damn good as w... 
looking for ideas on a tube pre amp
Vincent SA-T8. The most musically involving Pre-Amp for the money I've heard and then some. Fully balanced, it has sublime dimensionality and an ability to draw you into the music like few others.
