No looking for something diffrent. Its like Pro Speakers, I like Danley SH50 over some B&W 800 series but im also looking for more refined types as well. Like the Salks or Conincident Ref. I like diffrent systems in diffrent rooms.
TRL dude. Price is supposed to go up soon, so not sure if it will fit your budgetary constraints....
Dragon_vibe, I take it you want the preamp to support balanced operation?

If looking into speakers, check out http://www.audiokinesis.com These are some very refined and very easy to drive speakers that are also reasonably priced.
Yes Balanced is good but not a must. Since its for a bedroom system. The cable runs wont be long.

Well not heard the Dude. but a Forum member here who compared the Dude to the CLS perffered the CLS more. I trust his ears more. The Dude prob is a very good Pre-amp but i feel its not for me.
Think i might settle for th CLS unless someone can claim another pre-amp is better class for the similar money
