Remote controlled preamp under 700?

Hello and thanks for reading. I've recently started building my first system and need some advice about adding a preamp. I'm powering triangle zeruis floorstanders, along with Antique sound labs KMP Fox 60 monoblocks. I'll soon be getting an Onix XCD 88 as a source. I'm searching for a preamp around $700 new or used, that will mate well with the ASL's. My requirements are very good bass handling (tight and low), phono stage for future upgrading, and hopefully remote controlled. The only preamp that has caught my eye is the eastern electric minimax. What else is comparable at this price range? Music preferences are classic rock, country, folk, and classical.
