Preamp for Bryston 3BST / Magnepan MG1.6QR

I am interested in people's experience with preamps in a Byston/Magnepan setup. I currently have a Bryston BP20 that results in a very thin and cold midrange. I am looking for something fuller and warmer. I have read good things about the Rogue preamps with Bryston amps, but I'm interested in how the Magnepans stir the mix. Thoughts anyone?

I had a 3BST, went to the Rogue 66 from the Bryston pre, enjoyed it alot more, found the Bryston pre amp a little dry and bright with the rock & roll that I mostly play. I then went to the Dehavilland Ultraverve, a little more pricy, but, it was a great match with the Bryston 3B ST to my ears. I have since replaced the Bryston for a little more power.....however, I agree with the above comments that a tube pre is defintely the way to go in regards to what you are looking for...

Going tube or hybrid with the Bryston and Maggies is the way to go. Some used ARC pre and play with tube rolling could be quite revealing. Check out the Marsh P2000t, quite a performer for the price.
