| B&W 803D and Parasound A tube preamp and a W4S amp would be a better combo. Then too, how the speakers are set up for bass balance and toe in can make a huge difference as well. | |

| Best preamp 2k or under, new or used I will second the Manley Shrimp or Jumbo Shrimp. It's a great preamp, not the equal of my VAC but it has a few admirable virtues of its own. | |
