Quality Preamp's with HT-Pass Thru capability?

Have a great HT set up with MLogan's and ss amp's Bryston/Frt and Anthem MCA50 Surr/rears..Using a Anthem MCA20 Pre/Pro. Want a Hi End preamp to kick up the stereo front end with out splitting the system, therefore a preamp with a pass thru. Just auditioned a Placette and it was ok...anyother suggestions..budget 1500-1800$.

Thanks to all..i'm sure someone else has asked this before...;))
