Best $10-15K bookshelf speaker?
Sopra 1 the best audio purchase I’ve made   B&W = dry, unnatural balance Buchard = does not play with the big boys Persona B = they’re in my closet KEF = meh Dynaudio = dry lifeless  Vimberg = matched or beaten by Sopra

Preamplifier options - seeking help to determine which one
Honestly I wish you luck but your theoretical approach to component selection seems more about buying into the marketing hype of a company most of us have never heard of than actual user experience or sound. Their website is heavy on that but real...
