AVM has a tube output stage in its PA 5.2 and an output impedance of 100ohms. This lists for $5500 and could be a very interesting unit at the high end of your budget. This is an extremely smooth sounding and enjoyable preamp. For jazz, it would be brilliant. If you like a tube sound but need SS performance, this could be an amazing option for you.
There is a new AVM PA 30.3 coming out in the next two months or so and have an output impedance of 50ohms. This thing is feature packed! Obviously I haven’t heard this yet but I have yet to hear anything from AVM I don’t love.
The Musical Fidelity M8 Pre has an output impedance of 47ohms and is just under $5k list. MF is known to be very Musical and a strong value since it is made in Taiwan.
At a lower price, the M6s Pre also has an output impedance of 47ohms and at a list of $1900 represents an amazing value.
These should work with you Bryston amps well. These are neutral to slightly warm in sound profile.
If you would like to discuss further, want the manuals or need additional info, feel free to PM me.
