Best amp/pre-amp for Vienna Acoustics Haydn ?


I'm looking to spend around 2K for the pair. Used is fine / preferable. One suggestion I had was Adcom GFP 750 / McCormack DNA .5. I was told to buy adcom new since there were build quality issues with some.
Other suggestions please.

McCormack makes great SS equipment. I'd second that amp reco. I can't second the Adcom. I don't care for Adcom sonics, and if they have reliability issues, why would you even consider it. How 'bout the matching McCormack preamp? What features do you require in a preamp? Phono? Remote? I own the VA Beethovens, I've found Classe equipment to mate well with them also. I've seen used Classe CP-50 preamps on the used market for $800-900. They are hard to beat at that price. If you crave tubes, I'd recommend an Audible Illusions preamp, you could grab an L1 for around $700.
Good luck, and enjoy the Haydns.
