Preamp for Magnepan

I'm planning on getting Magnepan 1.7s.
I have a strong, clean power amp to drive them, but I need advice on a preamp please.
1. Make and model recommendations
2. tube vs. solid state and why

thanks, Steve

Keep an 'eye' out for impedance mismatch.
Some pre's may be higher than your amp will be comfortable with.

You can always add phono and an outboard DAC later, as funds and need allow.

I hear so much about tube pre w/SS amps and Maggies that if I had the $$ and didn't think I'd drive myself and everyone around me NUTS with tube and cap experiments, I'd try it, too!
