Best Preamp to Pair with Acurus A-250 and Vandersteen 3 Signature Speakers


I am told this Acurus amp is a bit dark or dry.  I was running it with an old Carver pre-amp/tuner with some Vandersteen 2A signature speakers.  It sounded good to me.  The Carver broke and I upgraded to larger Vanersteens.  Any recommendations on a good preamp for it?  Would like to stay under $5,000.  I don't have a turntable, so I am digital.  Listen to everything from jazz to classic rock.  

 

 

Thanks,

If I were you, hold off on selling that Acurus amp.

Team it up with a tubed preamp, that has a low output impedance.
