Which is the best preamp for the BEL 1001 MKVs?

I have a pair of BEL 1001 MKVs and trying to find a best matched preamp. My price range is about 1k to 2k and prefer tube preamp. Any suggestion?

I am looking for another Mk V to try a mono setup.

I replaced my Aesthetix Calypso preamp with a VTL 7.5, everything else has remained the same. Needless to say, this may be as good as it gets and I have no plans on changing either the pre or the amps anytime soon. Peace.
