Good preamp with Merlin TSM speakers?

I own Merlin TSM bookshelf speakers which are nicely detailed but a bit on the dry side with my Modwright 9.0 se preamp. I'm looking for a preamp to warm up the sound and thinking about CJ tube pre. Suggestions, ~$2k or under? I like the detail of the Modwright but would like more flesh on the bone. I use Tube Audio Design ss monoblock power amps ("Hibachi").

Bobby used to recommend the all of the following depending on the system & user goals:

Joule Electra
CAT
At most shows these two brands were almost always featured. 


First Sound
Modwright
Analogue Audio
Belles
