preamp with Atma-sphere m60 II


Hi,
I am thinking of replacing my current BAT VK3i pre amp and I thought some of you may have an opinion you'ld like to share ;)
I am running Atma-sphere M60 II amps with Zingali Overture .2s monitors. Cabling is all Signal Cable. I prefer balanced out put if possible. My budget would be about $1500~.
I should tell you that I really like my BAT, I am looking for synergy amonst components that I am not sure I'm getting now.
Thanks in advance

Mikesinger,

When you say that "the 30 is a couple steps above the 3", are you comparing the BAT VK-30 to the BAT VK-3i, or to the Atma-Sphere MP-3?

Thanks,

Duke
