My experience with the SP14 has shown it to be a very detailed, clinical and bright sounding pre-amp. I've no experience with the P270. The LS7 is a nice budget tube amp, not overly warm or bright. Tube changes can make a difference in its tone. However.....
I wonder if you are travelling down the right road. You want to replicate the sound you heard in the demo room, however unless your room, system, and set up are identical you never will.
