Balanced Tube Preamps I Should Try

I am looking for a balanced tube preamp to mate with either my Pass X-250 or Sim Audio W-5 amps. I think the amps sound better using the balanced inputs. I would like a tube preamp with remote control if I can find a very good one. Price range would be $5K retail.

Thanks and Happy Listening.

Unsound,

I am looking to change the midrange to sound more alive. I have been using a pair of Talon Raven-C speakers and they seem to be too revealing with the Pass preamp, maybe too much of a good thing.

I've heard the Khorus Xs on a friends system with Pass X350. He has used Cary SLP98 and First Sound preamps to great success in that system.

I've been using a BAT VK-31SE with an X350 and it is a very good combo. I would highly recommend a BAT.
