Need help for preamp/amp to build around my 1.6s

Hello,

I am planning a system around some "Peter Gunned" Maggie 1.6s. I want a "tubey" sounding system with a lush midrange.

I know Conrad Johnson has a rep for being very warm but any other preamps? I would prefer it had a phono input.

Also I hear great things about Monarchy SM70s with Maggies. Any experiences out there?

My budget will be around $4-5K for both. I hope to buy used.

The rest of the system is planned to be:
Logitech Transporter
Marantz TTS1 turntable, Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge

Thanks for any help.

Bryston is a seamless match with Magnepan.Urban legend,James Winey drives his personal Maggies with the 7 series monos.
In my last system I complimented this combination(4BSST/1.6) with an Audio Research LS 15 which brought it all together.
A recommendation from personal experiences.
