Looking for a preamp to pair with W4S monoblocks


I'm looking for a preamp in the $2K-$4K range to pair with Wyred4Sound SX-1000 monoblocks. Source is vinyl from a Rega RP-3. Speakers are Totem Forest. Listen to mostly rock, jazz and acoustic stuff.

A dealer today told me that the Parasound JC-2 would sound, and I quote, "Far too aggressive when paired with the Wyred4Sound amps." I'm open to going the tube route -- I used to own a Blue Circle pre, and loved it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated, and thanks.

Why not a Wyred4Sound preamp? It would seem like a logical choice given you like the amps enough to buy them.
