Default Moving up from the C2500 - opinions?

Hi guys

I’m contemplating a move up from my C2500 pre-amp which feeds into my two MC 1.2Kw power amps. I don’t use the DAC in the C2500 as my K-01x is vastly superior...

My speakers are the new B&W800 D3’s which I absolutely love! I’m feeling that my pre-amp is probably the weakest link in the chain so the obvious next step is the C1100. I’ve also read that others have had success using a Ref 5 or 6 pre amp with McIntosh power amps but the preference would probably be to stick with the green machine (ala McIntosh).

I’m interested in hearing from others that may have moved up the McIntosh pre amp chain (or even gone from a C2500 to C1100) and what sort of a difference they’ve experienced...

Thanks!
