Threshold T2 vs. Bryston SP26 vs. Plinius M8

Basically, which one of these 3 line stages do you think is the best? How does the older Threshold T2 compare to the new Bryston BP-26 and Plinius M8?

I am having a tough time choosing between the Threshold T2 and the Plinius M8 and may stretch my budget to the limit in considering the Bryston BP-26 if the latter is more superior to both. I own the Plinius SA-100Mk3 amp and Krell KPS-30i CD player.

Looking for transparency and dynamics and would like to avoid warm-sounding preamps.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all responses. I will keep the Bryston BP-26 high in my shortlist although I'm using a Plinius amp. The Plinius M8 may be synergistic with my amp but I am not disregarding other high-quality units.

I also noted that the Threshold T2 is a very good unit as I have a friend who owns a T2 upgraded by Jon Soderberg and also a T3. He is not willing to part with both his two Thresholds despite my persistent bugging.
