integrated or power amp?

[Ashley]

With a budget of £500, do you think I'd be better off with either of the following:

Buying a power amp such as a Cyrus X power to use with my passive pre amp.

Or

Moving the pre amp to actives duty and going for an integrated. Something like a brio r, m3i, or nait 5si.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts and welcome any additions to these list.

Must have missed something. What is your preamp?

Sorry, it's a pp10 passive pre amp. I used to own an 8 power if that helps.
