Musical Speakers
Look for a used pair of Quad speakers, I've had the floorstanding 22L, and 12L, 11L monitors, they are very musical and highly thought of in the UK and US. I just love the high gloss real wood cabinets on these speakers. Within your price range used.

Shindo lab pre amps
Mikeyc8,Agreed, most people are just not into the retro look, I've always like the McIntosh look, but many don't care for it.My new preamp is kinda retro, but not a Shindo, maybe a poors man Shindo.
