Amp Recommendations
These speakers are rated at 4 ohm @ 90 db. Unsure if the impedance drops even lower during certain frequencies. An amp will be needed that can respond in kind. Perhaps a Bryson or an Odyssey amp would work within your stated budget. Both have grea...

Best preamp under 1500$ freya+ , cary slp03 ?

New CD Player
Cary Audio does upgrades to some of their gear. Maybe your gear qualifies for an upgrade? Perhaps contacting them would be a decent path. Any company that stands by their “obsolete” gear is ok in my book. Sonic Frontiers “The Parts Connexion” is a... 
Best Receiver?
The Concept receivers were quite nice. The lower to middle of the pack units usually sell for resonable prices. Their top of line units can go for megabucks... Very nice all in one units. If you are seeking a modern-day receiver, Magnum Dynalab m...
