I have Krell FPB 250M and use the krell KRC-HR ppreamp. Great synergy since they are from same company. A used Krell KRC-HR is on sale on Audiogon often, and at a reasonable price of $2500-3000 depending on condition. I bought mine off Audiogon and could have never bought it new with a price of $8500.
I agree with Mark. Since you are not running Cast, the KRC-HR is your best bet, regardless of price.
