Tube Preamp to go with Bryston SST2 amp and Magnepan 1.7i speakers


Hello, I'm looking for a good tube preamp to go with a Bryston SST2 amp and Magnepan 1.7i speakers.  My budget is $2000-3000.  I like to listen to a wide range of music, from Dire Straits to Blues to Jazz. I have my stereo in a medium sized room, and listen at moderate levels.

Thanks for your input!

Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone!

soix - the pre I'm using is a Schiit Saga.  

I'm looking for better soundstage and instrument clarity.
Would I be crazy to decide to go with a Bryston Preamp, rather than a tube preamp (I know, I suggested I only wanted to go with a tube preamp in the title.  Sorry to be waffling)?  It looks like a couple of people here, and some other places suggest that you will get better synergy that way. What are peoples thoughts, pros and cons?
