pre-amp and amp for 1K


Can someone point me to some used (or maybe new)pre-amp and amp combo's that would be great with my Soliloquy 5.3 speakers for $700-$1200?

It would be used for music 85% of the time, but I still need to maintain the ability to watch decent 5.1 channel movies. The reason is... I have a 5 channel receiver, but how do integrate that into a HT system and not use it as a pre or amp for music?

Interesting situation: I would definitely separate HT system from 2ch stereo:

Use for 2ch stereo your main Soliloquy 5.3.

Get for HT some cheap and descent monitors.

Try to mate used passive McCormack line drive($325) with used Bryston 3b-st($900).

If you cannot separate HT from music it'll still work with two sets of speaker wires running from your HT receiver and from your power amp. Make sure that receiver and amps are not on both at the same time.
