Back to solid state? :)
Seriously, I'd look first at a Foundation Research V6 tubed preamp for about $4k new and then a solid state pair of mono Odyssey Stratos amps at $1k each. That's about as far as I'd go the tube route in that budget range.
Assuming, the synergy is there, it could be an excellent sound.
-IMO
