What are you looking for in particular? Are you putting together another system, reworking the one you have, trying to fix a problem?

IMO, sonically, I like the idea of a SS amp with a tube pre combination and the B&K stuff is very tubey sounding for SS gear. I had an ST140 and EX442 for a long time with either a Music Reference RM5 mkII or Dyna PAS 3 tube preamp and it sounded great

Just thinking about a matched pair..but you are right it is all about the sound. Any opinions on the B&K reference 20?
