Preamp for Parasound and B&W803d2

I have a set of B&W 803d2 now paired with 2 Parasound JC1 mono blocks, I am trying to find a matching balanced preamp which is more on the softer side. 
I was thinking about Mcintosh C220 (tube) or Pass Lab X1 or maybe a PS Audio BHK hybrid. 
I would be interested in your opinions on the preamps. Thank you.

OP- how are you liking the JC1s? I also have 803s (D3) and am looking for more current to drive them than what's on tap from my Vincent SP331 stereo amp.

OP- that's what I thought. Glad you're enjoying the JC1s.

Thanks for the response!

Topping Pre90.

It's not on the softer side, it's extremely clear and neutral, and it makes my 803 D3s sound fantastic.

Amp is the Vincent SP-331 hybrid.

Just my 2c
