the cart or the horse?

I recommend that you speak with a professional. Watch OCD HiFi Guy on YouTube. Mikey is very passionate about helping people get quality sonics from their systems. 

A Sugden A21 class A may be a good match to your speakers, if you can swing $3250. the Border Patrol dac would also be nice, sounds more "analog" at least to me. All you need now is a turntable...😁

Wow...wow...wow  😀
I am very thankful to all of you for your thoughts and suggestions, it is very much appreciated. If something pops up on Audiogon that looks like a good fit for me please feel free to drop me a note.

All my best,

With those speakers as many have said a good tube amp.  Doesn't have to be super powerful.  I bought a used Decware Mini Torii ( $1100.00) to use with my 92b Ref 3A de Capos speakers.  it's plenty loud those Omegas should sing with 4 watts.

look around take you time and invest in some good clean used gear.

Dump the loudspeakers, the amp and the preamp.  Stretch you budget a little and get KEF LS50 Wireless IIs.  I agree with all those who stated that your current system is mismatched.  I even agree with those who say your Omegas are a real good loudspeaker.  I just think that getting a good sonic match for the Omegas will give you a somewhat complicated system.  The KEFs will produce high quality sound while keeping it simple and allow for future upgrades.  New they are $2800.

BTW, how did you come about picking the Omegas?
