Amplifier and preamplifier for Wilson Watt puppy 7

I have Watt Puppy 7, amplifier parasound Halo JC1 and DCS La Scala with Elgar plus, result is good but not perfect.
Image is not totally holographic, depht is limited and I cannot have the texture of intrusments. After trying different preamplifiers, it can be better but never like I mentionned. I have not tried Audio reseach LS25MKII or the Ref II or LAMM, perhaps they can do what I want but I am not sure that amplifiers ( JC1 ) can give what I want.
If someone can share with me his experience ?

I like the sound of my WATT/Puppy 6s with Pass amplification (X600s and X1). Wilson often uses VTL electronics with its speakers at shows.

ever think cabling / AC could be the problem? room?

i've heard the JC1s in multiple systems, and never complained about the imaging.

Have watt/puppy 6's and you need Audio research...try SP16L and VS110...wow, musical like nothin elseand it's their most reasonable offerings! I've had most of the current ARC stuff over the last 3 years and one thing I've learned is that balanced gear is less musical than single ended stuff!!
