Excellent suggestion from Cytocycle.Especially since the Wilson Benesch's are so fantastic for mids/highs.I second that.

do yoy always have to pay full price?
Just always buy your stuff on Audiogon.You will always get great pricing and usually get equipment that is in good to excellent condition.-G 
If you had $12,000 for speakers and amp
I would buy some used Wilson Benesch Curves or Coincident Super Eclipse v3's and some used Manley 250's.You don't specify listening style or types of music so I'm just listing my own personal opinion. 
Used Preamp for $2000 to $3000
