Pre-amp decision


I am purchasing the Paradigm Studio 100 V2 speakers and am most likely going to go with a Bryston 3B SST power amp to drive them. This preamp will be used in a dedicated 2 channel system and I don't need a phono stage. I am considering using the Rogue 66 magnum for this system. Any other suggestions for a very musical preamp using these other components? Source is an undetermined CD player so advice on that is also welcome. My music taste is varied.
Thanks for the advice......

I have owned both the Rogue 66(non-magnum) and the BP-25 both being married up to my 4B-ST. The BP-25 is brutally revealing and accurate. The Rogue on the other hand offers a warmth that gives me more listening pleasure for longer periods of time. Rogue preamps would be a good match but there are other inexpensive tube units out there that would also offer a nice presentation - Sonic Frontiers, Cary, Audible Illusions to name just a few. But do try to audition a tube preamp if you can...
