Amp help with a B.E.L. 1001 Mk.II


I purchased a B.E.L.1001 Mk.II (Brown Electronic Labs)along with a marantz 67SE cd player for $8.50 from my local thrift shop. Being that the cd player has volume output control I was able to connect it directly to the amp, with the amp connected to a pair of chrisman speakers. The amp an cd player sounded awesome and worked with no issues. I have never heard of or seen a B.E.L. amp. So any info on it would be great. I'm guessing the correct way to hook up the amp is with a pre-amp. What would be a nice pre-amp to go with the B.E.L. amp?

I went today to see if they still had the luxman, sold it last week. They did have a pair of Boston Acoustics T830 Speakers $100 for the pair. Had nothing else but did make some guys year when he asked if they had the cd soundtrack to American Graffiti. He was so excited to purchase it you would have thought he'd just won the lotto. Did remember that my Nakamichi receiver 1 has pre output and main input, could I pull the jumpers and wire it to the bell amp so it acts like a preamp?
Its in boulder,co. A place called Bart's Music Shack, really is a one room shack. It's not real easy to find unless you know where it's at, but its worth discovering if you like vintage vinyl as well as used CDs and music DVDs. They don't sell really any audio pieces, but from time to time they have a preowned piece come thru like the luxman preamp and the boston speakers as well as some turntables.
I used to go to Bart's quite often when I lived in Denver. They did have some nice vintage gear on occasion. So did Twist & Shout but their prices weren't as attractive.

My old buddy Doug just moved his record shop from it's former outpost in North Boulder to a spot nearby Bart's. So there are a few good places in the downtown Boulder vicinity now (assuming Wax Trax is still around) to pick up vinyl.
