搭配主動式的喇叭要用靜一點(S/N比高)的前級
金嗓子ACCUPHASE是個好選擇
这就是主动闹心的地方:loveliness:，我前面也是主动箱，为前级愁也不少
我在用ps 的bhk前级，驱动力强悍，换上金狮12ax7后素质音色更上一层楼，搭配atc非常好。
有源箱子内置的功放大多很廉价~所用的单元也不是什么发烧级，真配个很昂贵的hifi前级感觉很不值当，然而两三万的hifi前级实在没什么好货吧。
玩有源，这正是纠结的痛苦之一唉，深有感受:Q

ayre kx5 20谈的人很少，艺雅的音色应该是不错的，请问这台声音的透明度和动态怎么样？
比arc6 好，没arc6 声音厚

Never be a fan of ATC speakers. Indeed, they are great speakers in professional studios.
ATC speakers lack some delicates and extention in high frequeceny, and also the decay is a bit short.
I guess that's the reason why ATC active speakers sound dull to you.
Audio Research 6se is a tube preamp but sounds less tuby than many other tube preamps. It sounds neutral (hate this word), punchy, has medium size soundstage, but lacks romantic and sweetness in high frequency.
With that being said, I suggest you to try Mcintosh C70 and Luxman C-900U. I'm not sure C70 is available for purchase separately in China or not. Maybe it has to be bundled with MC2150, if that's the case, you can try C2700.
Mcintosh C70 and Luxman C 900U has much bigger soundstage than ARC 6(SE),sounds sweeter and more romantic. Those two preamps should give more vivid vibers to your ATC speakers
you can also try Ayre KX-R TWENTY.
Ayre KX-R Twenty maybe out of range, but it's worth more than they asking.

KX-R Twenty is the dream Preamp I'd like to own one day. What do you recommend on the solid state Preamp under $15k? If I want to have better holographic images, should I consider tube instead? Thanks!

Can I ask what amps and speakers are you using? Well, when we talking about holographic images, tubes or SS shouldn't be the key factor. Sure, they have different styles. Usually, a well designed and implemented tube amplifier has a deeper and wider soundstage, but it certainly cannot have a pinpoint focus and precise image as a very well designed SS preamp.
以上前级全部在allnic 7000面前败下阵来。

@Tequila,能详细谈谈ayer kxr的具体情况吗，特别是饱满度，低频情况。谢谢
当时跟ARC40周年（已经是金脚6h30P，6550是原装胆）比较，用同样的电源线（换尾插，因为ARC是20A），同样的信号线。场面动态差不多，KXR Twenty暗劲更好点。主要区别是细腻度和润泽度。
Spectral可以考虑。

I'm using Wells audio Innamorata to drive Revel Studio2's now.

The impression Innamorata gave to me was very pleasing, forgiving, and sounded like a tube amplifier. I heard it years ago, maybe I was wrong. I doubt it can really drive your Revel properly when playing high dynamic music like symphonies and rocks.
So to add a colorful pleasing sound preamp might be too much for your power amp, but maybe you like it, maybe you don't like listening to high dynamic symphonies. I don't know. If you are after a precise image for symphonies, probably you should change your power amps. If you want to add some rationalities into your system to compensate a bit, you can try the cheap Benchmark LA-4, or more expensive Pass XP-22.

Thank you for the recommend.
