Best Preamp for under $1750.00

Seeking recommendations for a preamp in the $750 to $1750 range. Balance of system consists of Aerial 8's, Bryston 7B's, and CAL CL-15. Room acoustics and speakers would favour lean over lush; I'm looking for something musical without being on the "warm" side. Music preferences include acoustic, jazz, and rock. Will re-cable according to final selections

Wright Sound Company WPL20. Pure, unadorned beauty. My overall favorite regardless of $$$$.

Another preamp to look at is the Adcom GFP-750. It retails new for well under $1750 and can be found for much less used. For the money it is a very good preamp which offers both passive and active operation.
