For those potential customers with solid state preamps who might ask whether the BC-28's musicality might be incompletely fulfilled with such a pairing, I for one can affirm the wonderful synergy of this amp with my recently acquired solid state unit. I have now mated your amps with a modest tubed active preamp, a modest passive volume control and my new ss active preamp, which comes closest to the BC-28 in comparable quality. As expected, I heard differences among these configurations, yet the BC-28s made remarkable music with all. While amazing transparency willears aware of the relative attributes of upstream components, the BC-28s have proven to be impressively versatile performers.
 
My experiences and observations are those of a serious amateur audiophile and not a professional reviewer, but I'll wager you that few, if any, "pros" subject the BC-28s to as full a gamut of preamp choices as I have.
 
Thanks again for helping to bring more of the joy of music into my home.

My initial impressions with bi-amped BC-28s:
Music has "life" at low to moderate volumes.  This was exactly what I was seeking with the added power.  I'm now able to truly enjoy my system without edging up the preamp volume to get lifelike reproduction and energy. Bass is noticeably more articulate.

Another layer of low level treble detail has been opened up, especially with percussion.  I just listened to "All Blues" from Miles Davis' "Kind of Blue" and Jimmy Cobb's brushwork on the drums gave the illusion that his drumset was in my room.
I can't thank you enough for steering me to the BC-28s.  I'm finally off the upgrade merry-go-round!
