Pre Amp + Amp to run B&W 803S

my budget is $2000 for both the USED preAmp and USED Amp together.I did some research, still novice in this Hifi knowledge.

I am not sure of exact spec's a preAmp should have or even what they are, but I am to some extent aware of the AMP, min 200W in 8 ohms, I am unsure about its Hi current transformer VA values, should be enough to power the 803S.

I am thinking about used Krell KAV250P or 280P as preamp and Classe CA200 or CA300 as the Amp. I will be running this setup as 2 channel only. Your suggestions and Comments are most welcome. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks Mlawitm and Papajoe,

I looked around, did some research. How about Musical Fedility A5 IntAMP? It has the power required, Heard great reviews about it, and dosent pinch me as much? Any comments and suggestions most welcome.

Thank you Mlawitm
More on this. Did more research. As cosmetics are not of any priority, Saw the Yamaha P3500S Amp. heard great reviews about it as well, and costs much less than the british makes. Any input on that. and any suggestions on the preAmp that Pairs well with the Yamaha to power the 803s?

To keep costs to a min i chose the following setup,
I know mac's, classe, rotel are best paired with B&W's, but to keep my spending under 2K
i decided to go for Parasound - Halo P3 + Yamaha P3500s + bluejeans cables.

thank you all for the advice

Thanks all for the kind advice.

I will be connecting up the system in a day, and listen to it and give my feed back.
