Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them!

old high end preamps..
I have a Mac C33 (ss) that I purchased new in 1984.  Still sounds great and offers fun and flexibility to experiment with various speakers and room configs.  Not appreciably better or worse than my 2 year old Primaluna DiaLogue (vt). 
Looking for amp reccomendation
Reno Hifi has a used First Watt J2 for $2,500.   $4K new.
