Best Preamp/Amp Combo for Maggie 1.6QR's?


I have tried Melos SHA-1/Aragon 4004 MkII combo with moderate success but it is on the dark side, not much bloom or 3D sound. Mostly using Cambridge Audio Azure 640 V2 (Very Nice) with Kimber interconnect.

I am thinking maybe a tube pre and solid state high current power.
Does anyone have some suggestions?
Willing to purchase used and like to keep the combo in the $2 to $3K range. System in basement, quite quiet approx. 16' deep x 18" wide, 6.9" drop ceiling carpeted and paneled with dedicated power direct to circuit breaker, double studed walls and insulation.
I will trade VOLUME for MUSICALITY!

Try an Music Reference RM-9 plenty of power you can probably find a used one on agon.
