Like I mentioned, a Shindo preamp would mate perfectly with your amp and is the recommended route you should take.
I'm not saying you need to have two preamps. One is enough.

Jerome,
So your the first to get suck in by Alberto and Serge's Shindo frenzy. I applaud you as I'm trying to avoid it. Being a prior PMC IB2 owner I don't see your speakers pulling off the Shindo amps unless your speakers are more efficient then the IB2's. I would take Matt's advise and try a preamp first. I know when I eventually get sucked in that's the route I would go. I could get my toes wet and still drive my Princes. But you will probably suprise us all which is a good thing to. I wish you luck.
