suggestions for preamp/amp combos


Hi, just wanted to get some friendly suggestions for preamp/amplifier (can mix and match freely) combos that produce warm yet clean and not overly bright acoustics. Pretty vague, eh? Anyways, looking to keep the price tag under 3-4k for the used combo, would be driving larger monitors, maybe Spendors 2/3 and larger (love the British sound), no subs, or etc. Generally listen to acoustics, both classical and modern, but can mix it up with Pavarotti to Portishead. A big fan of Audiogon and lurker for many, many years.

Big thanks to everyone in advance.

A Rogue Stereo 90 Magnum power (should do 100+ Watts continuous, no problem) and 99 Magnum pre should fall in that price range. Very clean all-tube sound; far from harsh, bright, or analytical. If there is a weaker link of the paring, it would be the 99 Magnum, but I've heard that this is addressed by the new super-magnum upgrade (I hear you also get a 1-year warranty when upgrading used gear through Rogue).

This paring sounded great on my Tannoys. I've since upgraded in the Rogue line.
QuickSilver and Spendors are a great match. I use this combo and they are made for eachother.I do not think you need to buy used with the budget you have.
