Amp and Pre to match Wilson W/P 8 and others
I would personally recommend also the Lamms hybrids of the tube Lamms with your WP8s. I heard this combo a few times and its beguiling.Good luck--congrats on your WP8s 
The best amp for $2k tube, solid state or hybrid

How to break in Shunyata Hydra 6 ?
i bought the hydra 8 instead. Out of the box it already sounds good. I can just imagine it getting better as more hours are logged in there.

I would also urge to try to save for a Lamm hybrid.These amps are really special and works well w/ the Andra II speakers.Pricey but well worth it.

Preamp for McCormack DNA-125 Gold? Budget $2k
The Rowland capri + MCCormack DNA is also a good combo. I forgot about that combo but had that too. Not bad at all!!

Von Schweikert VR5SE / Aerial 20T V2 ?
