I don't think anyone has mentioned it so far in the multiplicity of suggested amps but the Creek OBH-11 will work, I find 10:30 setting of the volume control is plenty for any recording even ones mastered quietly.  The AKG701/2 does seem to be relatively inefficient so won't work so well with a...

NHT make something called a passive volume control (PVC), a pot in a box with RCA connectors IIRC.  There are others out there as well.  I have an SM Audio iNano but is TRS/XLR so would need adapters for RCA connectors. Works well though.

Ex-pilot, used to own/fly a 1964 Cessna 150D, lots of fun.  Still have my Telex headset, prefer my AKG701 now!

Leica-mount Fi maybe?  I use a CV Bessa R2 & Bessa L w CV 25mm/f4, here is a small project shot w the Bess R2 & CV 35mm/f2.5: http://www.pbase.com/eldenfoto/aldeburgh (was shooting with the Nikon FM2 this afternoon as well).

Don't forget the NHT M-00's, need the S-20 sub to really hear the bas end though.

You might want to take a look at KEH Camera: Used Cameras, Digital Cameras, Film Cameras, Laptop Computers and More., they have a huge range of used photo stuff there and their prices are usually at a fair market value for a dealer (they provide a 30 day warranty), you will need to be a bit...
