High End SS Preamplifier Ayre, EMM Labs, ML, or Pass

I have Clayton M300's that I'm looking to pair with a SS preamp to drive Von Schweikert VR-5 Anni's. Looking for opinions on Ayre KX-R/Twenty, Pre2, or XP-20/30 or other as potential options (ML). Interested in members opinions on possible options. Looking for that neutral, transparent, accurate tonal harmonic musical reproduction that isn't analytical, dry, lean, or fatiguing.

I concur, go with an excellent tube preamp. I have tried several of the preamps you mention but no SS preamp can equal 
say, an Allnic or ARC preamp. The BAT is also a good choice. 
Be careful, the types of tubes used have a HUGE impact on sound quality.
