Which amp/preamp/integrated for GoldenEar Triton 5's


I just purchased a pair of GoldenEar Triton 5's. I have an old Adcom amp GFA-545, but the Adcom preamp that went with it soudns muddy on one channel. Tried to get it fixed but it's still not right, so I either need a new preamp, or a new integrated. Found a great deal on Peachtree's 220SE, but am weighing that against buying something like the Parasound P5 preamp and keeping my Adcom going. Any advice much appreciated, and doesnt have to stay with those 2 choices, but my budget can't extend past $1500, and I'd prefer if it stayed closer to $1k. Thanks for your thoughts....

Given the age of your amp and the fact you have indicated an interest in an integrated amp, I think at your budget an integrated would be a wise choice. There are many in your price range to choose from, and, as I am not familiar with the Triton 5s and power requirements depend on speaker impedance, room size, and loudness preference, I am hesitant to make suggestion.  I agree with the NAD suggestion as one possible choice. Can you provide speaker specs, room size, and listening preference info?  
 I have heard some triton models however not the 5s.  I thought then to be very good. And had heard they are easy to drive. I assume the 5s are totally passive, requiring power to woofers. 

Are you willing to buy used? If so, I have had great success using the AG  marketplace. Also, what are your sources?
