Pre-amp suggestions

I have an aragon 4004 mkll and a pair of paradigm studio 100 v2's and a cal audio labs icon mk11. Anyone have any suggestions on a good pre-amp match for this set up. I was considering a little CJ PV-10 just to try. Very inexpensive way to see how a tube pre might sound with my set up. Thing is i dont want to lose the bass punch but like to smooth out that top end. But then again i might lose detail and air using a tube pre as well. Any suggestions would be most appreciated Thanks

I brought home the CJ 14 to demo some time ago. I thought it was pretty poor sonic-wise and wasn't impressed with it's build quality either.

To be nice, I thought it's presentation was quite subdued to say the very least.

My guess is the concerns you mention above are valid.

Yup, Chick. That's what they always say.
