Audio Research Amp/Pre matching

It is time to once again upgrade(change) my system. Looking at building a new system around a ARC VT100 amp, question is which ARC pre amp is a good match for this amp. And I am certain that a REF 5 would sound great but I mean a older good value for the money ARC pre that is a good blend with this amp.
Thank you for your suggestions

I use an LS 25 with a VT130SE. The combo works very well for me, but not everyone loves the LS-25. It's at the dryish end of the ARC tonal spectrum. Pretty neutral to my ear, but not particularly satisfying for the listener with a full-on tube jones.

FWIW
