preamp suggetions for mid lvl system


I didn't see my earlier post up, so here goes.

Any suggestions on which SS preamp to pair with a B&K ST-2140. I need two sets of outputs so narrowed it down to

Parasound Halo P3
NAD C162
Rotel RC-1090
B&K PT-3 II

wanted to go tube but concerned about reliabilty and service options in India

heard that the rotels are a little bright. Was that true of the B&K also. Need to tone down my highs a bit. Gets a little irritating at higher volumes. Heard that the NAD was smoother. No idea what the parasound sounds like, but it does have some good reviews.

but thanks for the input
many thanks for all the suggestions. But it seems that once you get to a certain 'level' in your music system the only way to 'flavour' the sound to your liking is to keep swapping units. (unless you spend obscene amounts of money I guess)

Would like to know how long one lets a 'new' piece burn in with the old system before deciding its better or worse
Oregon,
read a lot of good reviews about it, but I need two outputs. I dont think the PL one or two has two outputs.
Oregon, I would love to get one but that would mean changing my speakers. I have separate units for the mid/highs and dedicated passive subs for the lows. Hence two outputs to two amps. I wonder if its possible to use one of the tape outs of the Pluna and feed it to an integrated amp that will run the subs. I dont know how one more unit in the chain will affect the sound. Anyone tried it?
