Phono preamp
What do you consider inexpensive? Under $1500? Under $1000? Under $500? Should it contain both MM & MC sections? 
Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks...
@bstatmeister have you heard of Tri-Art Audio? I heard these open baffle speakers at Axpona and they truly amazed me and at a price around the 5K mark. Just something to keep your eyes out for. They are on my short list to demo again.

Spatial Audio M3 Tubo S open baffle speaker review
Have any of you heard the Tri-Art audio open baffle speakers? At Axpona heard them and the Spatial Audio and Tri-Art was the best IMHO. Now this was under show conditions but still the Tri-Art was mighty impressive! 
What are important features in a listening chair

The Silverline Preludes use a couple of 3.5” mid/woofer drivers so I doubt they wil play LOUD per your requirements.  
Budget?
Silverline Preludes if you can find them. Last I knew they retailed at $1500 new so should be able to get them for around $1250 or under 1k used.
