New amp recommendations

Hello. My current amp is a big old Onkyo M510 Grand Integra. The preamp is an Italian Musical Technology c2. The speakers are Proac Response 4.

I would like to change the amp. Any good amp recommendation for the Proacs?

Finally, what if I keep the Onkyo? Any suggestion for a good preamp to pair with it? Thanks.

Keep the Onkyo, you are not going to gain much if anything replacing it with another amp from an audible standpoint unless your just looking for more power. http://www.tom-morrow-land.com/tests/ampchall/index.htm

I'll keep the Onkyo amo. Still undecided between ARS LS26 and Ref.3 preamp (both of which I will try to audition). Is the Ref.3 worth 2k euros more than the ls26 (used)?

For the same money - less actually you could get a Audio Research VSi60 Integrated. Very nice sounding amplifier.

Grimace, thanks but I don't need an integrated amp. I am looking for a good preamp to match my onkyo amp.
