Older amp/preamp combo suggestions for monitors?

Hi guys,
I have written a couple times recently asking for integrated amp suggestions. I got some great feedback in response--thanks. However, I also want to explore my options with seperate amp/preamp.

My budget is about $1000-$1250max for the set. That is why I would like to consider something perhaps a little older, but no older than 6-7 years (?). I will use this set with GMA Europas. I have the Europas, but I have yet to select a cdp. Music preference is varied, room is medium sized.

So given this info.,do you have any suggestions? Any specific brands/models that I should consider? Or, should I just go with an integrated for this application/price?

Thanks for any advice, Jb3
