What Solid State PreAmp?

In the $5K-$10K range, what are the top PreAmps out there? I am looking for a musical PreAmp. I know of the following in NO particular order, but there might be others. Any feedback would greatly be appreciated.

BAT 42SE
McIntosh C200
Ayre K1Xe
Accuphase C2000 and C2410
Classe CP 700
Mark Levinson 320 and 326
MBL 5011

I'm guessing that in the 2 years and five months since Mikeaudio asked this question, he has likely made his decision.

Call me crazy.

This is high end audio. He has probably has 4 different preamps since then.

The $6k H2O Fire preamp should be auditioned. Nothing I have heard compares.
