If you want new for under 2K Emotiva is hard to beat. In fact, this may be a good starting place. You'll find out what you like (or not) in sound. Note the Emo preamp does not have tone controls. I bought the Usp 1 and UPA 1's for my MMG's and the sound was really punchy, detailed and presenting a good soundstage. Ultimately, I decided I wanted a warmer sound and went the tube preamp route (Mapletree) and a warmer but beefy SS amp (Conrad Johnson)

I will second the UPA-1 and USP-1 recommendation. Both the USP-1 and UPA-1 are 10% off now, bringing you two 350 watt (into 4 ohms) monoblocks and a preamp with a 30 day in home trial for $1000. Hard to beat. I have the UPA-1's and are very very pleased with them (MMG's, using an Adcom GFP-750 preamp). I have heard pretty good things as well about the USP-1, particularly for its price. The 30 day in home really gives you a chance to determine if they work for you. Check out the review below.
