need help in spending 1500 on an amp and speakers

Hi. I just came into some hobby money. I'm going nuts looking at all the combinations on the site. I'm running a AES tube preamp, kimber silverstreak interconnect, a new cambridge audio magidac with an old micromega transport. I'm looking to get a kick ass pair of monitors that were way out of my price range a couple of years ago and mate them to a big ss amp of least 150 watts. Again, the amp being one I could only dream of a few years ago. Any help from my fellow AudioGonners would be really appreciated. I have bought all my gear from this site over the last eight years and trust the advice given to me, so thank you.

Here's a different kind of option-Quad 12L Active speakers. You could knock out the need for both monitor speakers and amps in one simple box.

I've owned lots of mid-priced audiophile brands of speakers and amps and nothing I owned was any better (maybe a bit different presentation, but not better).

So, for less than $800-$900 new (maybe even less if you shop around or buy used) you can get a nice pair of monitors with amps built specifically for them.

Enjoy,
