Preamp suggestion


Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to the audio stuff and by no mean an audiophile, but love to hear good musics that includes jazz, pop and hip hops. I recently purchased BW 805D but am in dilemma of amp/preamp choice. Please suggest :
1. I listened to Primare A30. and they sounded vey clean for the price.
2. I also moved Macintosh mc252 (5k), but pairing it with mcintosh preamp is out of my budget. Is there a cheap alternative i could go without sacrificing the quality. Any other multichannel receiver that'd do the job?
3. Any other suggestion? or I am better off with primare a30 (which i could get around 1200)? I know there is a huge difference between 1 & 2..

I replaced Primare A30.1 with BAT vk-3i and vk-200. It is hard to believe how much better BAT is until you hear it.
The LSA Standard integrated at 150 watts/channel into 8 ohms fits your budget. They are also upgradeable to the LSA Signature or the LSA Statement for just the price difference, if you ever feel you want more pefomance.
My budget is around 3-4k. Howz macintosh ma6300? Anyone's using it here? I don't want to spend a fortune on integrated but I don't want more than 2.1 channel
What's your budget? You may be better suited to get a decent integrated than to go with separates under a certain $ amount.
