Preamp for Plinius 8200p

What tube pre-amp goes well with a Plinius 8200p? Has anyone matched this amp with a Vandersteen 2Ce?

Two different osunds though. The Rogue to me was dark and slow, not a good match with the Vandersteens IMHO, but the BC may be perfect! -Vik

I've been told it'd be a good combination. I'm also considering a Belles 150A hotrod, a Musical Fidelity A3.2cr, and an Anthem hybrid. Anyway, the Rogue is nice, inexpensive and would probably sound good with the Plinius.
