Huh, I went to work and missed all of the action I see!
Rvpiano, you really can't go wrong with the MA3. I presently have them and liked them so much I bought a pair of the MA5 and MA1.1. I believe they'll blend well with your CJ pre, but as others have mentioned, they do need break in, probably more than other brands, because of the silver plated copper conductors which take time to sound their best.
