Another preamp suggestion thread for my Kharma/Mac combo

Please help me find amp that sounds like a Jadis I50
Kw6,I have heard the prima with Kt-150's and is quite good,definitely has a strong enough pwr supply and output transformers for the 150's.I have'nt heard the Jadis though I would like to sometime.Best of luck,Kenny. 
Price No Object Amps
I would go with the FM acoustics 2011,because It's the cheapest.

Tekton Double Impacts
Gentleman,I probably come close to trying more different amps,from 1watt to 700watts,than all the amps combined from the majority of DI owners on this thread.So I know without a doubt what kind of pwr that I need for my system,room,music preferenc...
