B&W Matrix 805's, need amp, pre-amp, or integrated


I just purchased a set of Matrix 805's. I am just getting set up. I need an amplifier, pre-amp...or integrated...not sure what is the best way to go.

Most of my listening is classic rock and some jazz. I use my IPOD and a CD player (an old Dennon). I am new to higher end equipment. Budget max $1500 for amp setup.

My playing area is approx 15*20.

Thanks

The classic recommendation for 805s is big solid state power. Emotiva is a good recommendation in your price range. An Adcom GFA 555 II would be very affordable. The Wyred 4 Sound amps might fit, too.
