What tube pre-amps pair well with Pass amps?

Does anyone have experience with this?  I'm running Focal Sopra No. 2s and I understand the Focal's pair nicely with Pass amps.  Any tube pre-amps you'd recommend for consideration? I like the classical rock, but am gravitating more to jazz, classical and vocals. I just want to try something new.  Thanks.

Check out the KR P-135.  Has XLR ins and outs.  Review at positive feedback is glowing.  
Full disclosure I am a KR dealer but I think it would be a cool match.

KR is a Czech company which helps keep the prices down a bit compared to Germany. They are best knows as a premium manufacturer of tubes and their Kronzilla power amps.  

I sell a lot of their tubes.  Quality is extremely high though as odd as it sounds, the KR amp does really well with EML 45s.  KR tubes are best when the current can be increased when biased which doesn't happen in a preamp.  

PM me if you want to discuss pricing.
