Is Audio Research Mach II Ref II a good pre-amp?

Can anyone advise me whether an Audio Research Mach II Ref II a good match with the Krell FPB 600C amp? I like warm sound with a bit of bite.

Thanks.

The Audio Research would work quite well with it but I think it is way overpriced. IMO the LS-25 is a better value and probably sounds just as good. It also allows you to set the gain yourself. This way you won't overdrive the inputs. I believe the Ref has 18db of gain which is an awful lot.
