What preamp

Hello

I had been an Audiogon member for a while now and I need help deciding what preamp to buy, Things had been a bit difficult money wise, but I'm an audio enthusiast and I'm trying to put together a decent stereo system. The speaker are Polk Audio RTi-A9 the amp is going to be Emotiva XPA-2 . I'm looking for something to match the amp and speakers, I would like to have something to calm down the bit brightness of the Pollk Audio RT's that I've had heard they have. I'm also looking for balanced out connection aka XLR. All recommendation are always welcome. Thank you

I'd like the BEl Canto, balanced or not, as an alternative to a tube pre-amp.

I have been tempted to try going that way myself, but have stuck with the tubes for now.

For around 500 to 600 you can get an Accuphase C-200 it lacks for nothing. Nothing I've had has knocked it of the top spot for 5 years now. Its mated well with every power amp Ive had and has never been the weak link. Best on your hunt.
