Stereo Preamp

Posted by ramanan02 on October 2, 2021 at 23:03:34:
I intend adding a Stereo preamp with HT bypass and subwoofer out to my setup below
KEF R900 mains
KEF R600C Center
KEF T301 surround
Pair of SVS SB3000 Subs
Mains are connected to Parasound A21+ poweramp and the rest is connected to Marantz AVR 7011.
Main source is Tidal or spotify.
Im looking to get a stereo preamp with HT bypass so as to enhance the music listening experience.
Any thoughts on which brand/model of preamp I could go for considering that I want the subs also to be activated while listening to music.
I am looking at the following models of Stereo Preamp and confused which one to go with:
1. Parasound P6 (pluses - price point, Parasound advantage since poweramp is of same brand)
2. Anthem STR (pluses - Stereo Sub out and ARC which is being raved about)
