I don't mean to say the XP-10 is inferior but the REF 5SE is a couple of notches above the XP-10. The XP10 is a very good preamp for the money.
If you can swing it, I highly recommend the REf 5Se.
My Salon 2s are driven with the REF 250s or Krell Evolution 403E amps.

Thanks Rich,I would expect that the Ref 5se outperforms the XP 10. Can you describe what kind of sonic differences you've heard ?
Since we both have the same speakers, I'm very interested in your opinion !
