I use an MS600 into my Staxes (with valve amp). The MS600 supplies a big pile of neutrality which balances the valves well. The resulting sound is heavenly, perhaps slightly warm (the Stax amp is not top of the range) but not really inaccurate, just friendly and helpful I would say...
I would suggest you try an MS600 first. Then if you want to upgrade it perhaps look at the Audio Research DSPre to replace your Audio Research preamp. (I haven't heard the latter, but it looks fascinating and I dream of auditioning it for an analogue room...)
The Audio Research gear I have heard has been wonderful, but it was all some time ago.
