I just located and purchased the HK XXP preamp on eBay today based on what I read here. I have an AR SP-9 and HK Citation 16a running my home theater.
I also presently in my main rig I'm using a tubed GoldeNote Stibbert CDP into a 40W/ch, 135LB, Mastersound Reference 845, integrated SET, but at a simple switch of a knob it becomes a power amp! So I'll be looking forward to receiving my HK XXP and playing with it and the Mastersound together...
