Preamp for Parasound A21?

Just got a pair of Thiel CS2.4 and want to pair them with Parasound A21. However, I don't really like any of Parasound's preamps. The JC2 is very nice but overpriced (to my pocket anyway). The other Parasound pre's don't really interest me. I don't really hold out much hope for the forthcoming P5 either.

Anyway, can you suggest a pre around the $2000 mark that will mate well with the A21 and the Thiels? Also wondering if a tube pre might be a good idea in this context? Would much appreciate your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Good suggestion, thanks. Would the CJ ET3 or CJ pre-Classic be able to fill the role?

Milpai, for source, I have a Clearaudio Concept TT and a Quad 99CDP.

Audiozen, I suspect that P5 is a P7 with the multichannel stuff lopped off. Will see when it arrives, but I guess it will not be the long-term solution I am looking for. For now my dealer will let me use the 2100 until an answer becomes clear. (I guess we never discussed the 2100). Thanks for your suggestions.
