Just be aware....

...the pass amplifiers do prefer to be run in a balanced mode, and they're really designed to be used with a solid state preamplifier. The house sound you're getting is partially due to the preamplifer/amp match.

You can get good results with a tubed preamp, just be aware of the tradeoffs (potentially some freq extreme rolloffs). Balanced is best and just make sure the impedance matching works.
If you can afford it, consider Atma-sphere (close to $5,000 new)
