Pre-amp for sunfire signature 2 channel amp

I am looking for best possible pre-amp for ML Ascend powered by sunfire signature (2x600) around $1k. I am leaning towards McIntosh c15 just because I've got a good deal from the local dealer. I would prefer new equipment since pre-amps are more sensitive than other components in the system. Any help?

Typical connection would be amp to subwoofer, subwoofer to speakers.

I've tried the B&Ks on my MLs, and I was disappointed with the sound quality. I've also auditioned the Rotels on B&W 803, and i have to say it was about the same level as B&K components.

As for my setup, I am getting sunfire signature amp (2x600 watts) and sunfire theatre grand II. They are little more expensive than B&K or Rotel, but I think I am getting much better sound quality without breaking the bank.

I've decided on TGII for pre amp. (Thanks Sean and Hotrod)

Now I want to upgrade my system to accomodate HT since TGII already handles surround sound processing. I just want bear bone, mediocre HT system. What do you recommend for driving center and 2 real speakers? I don't want to break the bank, and my new amp should work well with 1st amp (sunfire sig).

Thanks in advance for your help.
