You may want to consider also some very good tube pre-amps such as the BAT 50SE, CJ 16 or 17 and Hovland pre-amp if you are not so fanatical about the idea that a pre and power amp must be of the same brand. I have heard very nice set-up consisting of the "best of the both world" i.e. a tube pre and a solid state power.
"Unfortunately" BAT is the only one that has a balanced circuitry - rest is single ended (RCA). I have some friends who refuse anything but XLR because they want the technical advantage of having the " extra 6 dB" in their set-up.
Hope this helps.............................................
