beginner seperate system

all the listening I do leads to crazy high prices.  anyone out there that can do great high fi on a couple grand budget?  I have nad 275bee bridged mono with focal aria 948.  I would like to experiment with maybe a tube setup or a really reverby ss if exists.  I have a couple rythmik 15 in subs that can do bass.  have a few headphone systems that really have opened my eyes on sound.  can hifi wonky/tubes be done with subs?  and lowest entry point worth the money?  would be great to find something under 5k that can play well with aria speakers.

Are you looking to replace the NAD amps or just needing a preamp?  You have a pair to NAD 275s bridged and a speaker system (Focals and subs). Looking to add to this with a budget of 2K.

I dont plan on changing away from my current setup.  but would like to add a tubes setup.  not sure whether a totally different path or adding a tube into current setup.  was thinking if I could just add into mix an integrated tube...what would easiest way be to add tubes?  avr preouts to bridged nads to speakers currently....

Schitt  Audio gives a lot of good stuff on a lower budget.
kimber8tc cables,  Emotiva, or Svs for Loudspeakers

You could get a Prima Luna integrated, used.  I believe Uncle Kevvy has a couple of them listed on his web site.
