I've found the 103's natural "forwardness" can be somewhat tamed, to good effect, with a Great River NV series or a Germanium.
Loud, punchy mic into input transformer seems to give it something I like.

OTOH, since you're also planning to record some trumpet, I'd shy away from the brighter & cleaner crop of preamps. That combination might well prove too present.
