First pre/pro and hopefully last

I am about to get my first pre/pro and hopefully it will last a long time. It will also serve as a 2 channel preamp. Looking at:
1. CLASSE SSP75, but I think it has been discontinued. why?
2. INTEGRA RESEARCH RDC-7
3. ARCAM AV8
Any opinions on these or others? Speakers will be Heron i's, and amps are yet to be decided, see thread under amps for that question, Bel Canto vs. Classe. Thanks for taking the time to read and respond.

I hadn't heard of the SSP75 being discontinued...but I figured it would be on it's way out soon, as it's been around a while. that works fine for me, I'll be able to get one used cheap!!!!

I'm in a similar hunt for a new pre/pro, I personally don't like the Bryston, and have had Aragon in the past and found it a little rough in the mids and highs, so to me it was somewhat fatiguing. I’ve heard good things of the Integra gear, but haven’t been able to listen to it anywhere yet. I am heading towards the Classe SSP 75, and in your case, since your also considering Classe amps, I would go with that and match your pre/pro and amps. What can I say, I’m a believer in synergy!
