You really need to match the amp(s) to your speakers, more than the preamp.  What speakers do you have?
I found the Stereophile review of these speakers:

The reviewer found the recommended power was at least 100 watts per channel. He used a SimAudio W-7 and a Primaluna Prologue Seven.

Are you interested in tube or solid state?  And what kind of budget do you have in mind?
Here would my choices.  Just my opinion, but I do have extensive knowledge and experience with all these choices.

1.  Parasound JC-1 Mono.  These would be a little more than your budget used.  Around $4000-$4500, but well worth the extra money.

2.  Belles 350A Reference.  Around $2500 used.

3. Odyssey Stratos Monos.  Around $2000-$2500 used.

4,  Parasound A21.  New $2495, used around $1800.

5.  Odyssey Stratos Plus or Extreme.  Around $800-$1400 used.

You could look for a used SimAudio W5 or W7.  The reviewer really liked the W7 with your speakers.   Not sure how much they are used.
