suggestions for preamp/amp combos

Hi, just wanted to get some friendly suggestions for preamp/amplifier (can mix and match freely) combos that produce warm yet clean and not overly bright acoustics. Pretty vague, eh? Anyways, looking to keep the price tag under 3-4k for the used combo, would be driving larger monitors, maybe Spendors 2/3 and larger (love the British sound), no subs, or etc. Generally listen to acoustics, both classical and modern, but can mix it up with Pavarotti to Portishead. A big fan of Audiogon and lurker for many, many years.

Big thanks to everyone in advance.

I have had the opportunity to listen to the whole range of Spendor Classic line (2/3, 1/2, 3/5, 100) and the 2/3 came out as the brighter. It was the only one of the range I didn't like. It was too bright and distracted my attention from music.

If you don't like 'bright', perhaps you should start by choosing the right speaker, as someone else suggested before in this thread.
