Hi Tom. Level matching sources by playing a white noise sample through
synchronized SB3 and Transporter and using a Radioshack sound meter to
level match. 

I have the volume on the SB3 and Transporter set to fixed gain (ie at
100%) and adjust the volume on the preamp to volume match.  Like yours,
my preamp is able to store separate volume levels for separate inputs so
it makes A/B comparisons pretty easy.

I am sure that changing out speakers will make a significant
difference.  I plan on doing this down the road. I did find that the
SB3 was somewhat fatiguing to listen to due to unrefined/harsh highs. 
That seems to have resolved with the Transporter.

What subjective differences did you note between the SB3 and
Transporter?
