What’s a good preamp to run with Krell FPB 350m monos that has 2 pairs of balanced outs

I need the balanced outs to go to a pair of Jl Audio f113’s and to also feed the Monoblocks.

If I use a Y-splitter on a preamp with only one pair will that work? Worrying about impedance issues. Was looking at a Pass Labs XP-10 originally. 

Related equipment is MIT cables, oppo BDP-105, and Egglestonworks Andra II

Well my usual answer to Krell's is tube pre's, but Ayre is a great call with your impedance needs.
Our MP-1 is tube, has dual balanced outputs and has no worries driving two pair of solid state amps without loss of bass performance.

I agree the Ayre would be a good solid state choice.

Picked up an Ayre K1xe and it’s an amazing combination! Better then I expected! The volume control on it is a work of art! 😃

What's a great preamp that has bass management for a sub 2.1 config ?? Looking to match with Mark Levinson 532h and Revel F206s running Anthem MRX510 now as preamp.

boisehomes, could you compare the Ayre sound to the KCT preamp you used to own?
