FrankC,
Contact Leonard in ARC for gain modification for your LS2B.
ARC preamp's gain is usually set at 12dB gain in single ended mode and 18 dB gain in balanced mode. Most of the ARC preamp gains can be changed by 6dB by just adding a pair of resistors(one left and one right channel). This will give you plenty of gain and not having to worry about step up transformer/additional interconnect/additional line noise/loading with transformer/etc.
