What preamp for my Shahinians?

I am driving my Shahinian Diapasons with a Rotel 380/channel solid state amp. I could spend up to about $6000 on a preamp. So far the ones I have heard in my system were not that impressive. (I currently have a Belles solid state).
The Plinius CD-LAD didn't sound as good as the Belles. The Hovland HP 100 had great mid-range but rolled off the bass too much and had tube ringing at high volumes.
It seems like finding the best preamp might take a long time. Can anyone suggest a pre-amp that might be good in my system? If your not familiar with Shahinian, I'd say they sound like Quad 988's but have more bass and play louder.
Thanks

I AGREE THE 102 PLINIUS IS AHECK OF A GOOD AMP,LIKE
THEY SAID PETER THOMPSON USE THOSE SPEAKER TO EVALUTE
GEAR, I ALSO HEARD THE 102, ITS 3 TIMES BETTER THAN
THE SA 100, remember the sa 100 is included, one that almost
redifine the class a category in stereophile.Try it
102 is worth to listen.
