B&W Matrix 805's, need amp, pre-amp, or integrated


I just purchased a set of Matrix 805's. I am just getting set up. I need an amplifier, pre-amp...or integrated...not sure what is the best way to go.

Most of my listening is classic rock and some jazz. I use my IPOD and a CD player (an old Dennon). I am new to higher end equipment. Budget max $1500 for amp setup.

My playing area is approx 15*20.

Thanks

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if you want to get the most from your Matrix 805s you will need to double your budget. Look for a used Levinson amp and preamp the same vintage as your 805s.
