I have a PT 3 II running through a B&K Ref 4420 and Vandersteen 2CE sigs. Beat the heck out of a Sunfire reference preamp. Strong bass, open warm midrange, nuetral highs. Great for the bucks....

B&K PT3 or AVP-3090 to replace Linn Wakonda?
I recently sold my Wakonda as part of a sale of a Knekt sytem, and now I need to replace the preamp. I had the Wakonda preamping my Aragon 4004 and powering Maggies and an M&K Sub. I am currently using a Rotel RC-1070 in place of the Linn. Overall it has a good sound, actually a bit warmer than the Linn, but the high end seems less open. I am considering replacing the Rotel and have looked at a used B&K PT3 or even an AVP-3090 processor to replace the Rotel vs getting an Aragon Soundstage which has been reported to have an excellent preamp stage but would also be considerably more expensive. Any thoughts or experience with either of the B&K units? Thanks, Steve
