There are lots of pieces from Rotel, Creek, and NAD that would fit your budget. Personally, I would rank them in that order (others will disagree).
Right now on Audiogon there are a couple of nice Rotel power amps in the $500-$600 range, and a handful of Rotel preamps going for $300-$500. I would be looking in that direction if I were in your position.
Good luck!
