The best sounding Audio Research Line Stage preamp

I'm in the market for a used Audio Research Line Stage preamp and was wondering if anybody with experience on the following models could help me as to which you might feel would be the best sounding model. I'm after the ARC brand due to it's noted dynamics and clarity. It will be hooked up to a Classe CA-301 power amp and a pair of Magnepan's 3.6R speakers. These are the models I'm considering. The LS2B MkII, LS3B, LS5 MkII, LS12, LS16 MkII, LS22, and the LS25MkII. Thank you for all your help.

Second the LS5 mk2 with GNSC mod. No dark or muddy, a huge improvement in dynamic. I preferred this pre over the Ref2 mk2 that have got for one week in my room syde by side, in my system and to my taste.
I have also a Supratek Cortese to compare to my Ls5 GNSC mod , both two great sounding pre although being so different.
