Best mid priced Amp-Preamp

You may want to consider the Rotel integrated amps, the RA-1572 (around $1,699 new) or the newer more powerful RA-1592 (around $2,499 new).  The former is 120w/ch, the latter 200w/ch and each comes with a very nice DAC chip.  I own an older Rotel receiver and can speak to its durability and quality of build (like your Adcom products).  Each can be found used on Audiogon.

+1 on the Hegel H160. Also look @ Peachtree and Schitt.

  Please suggest best amp-preamp under $2000 for my KEF 103/3 reference series speakers.

A little more but this new John Curl designed Halo Integrated just got good raps put on it, not quite as as powerful as the older one which you could get on your budget, has everything even a Sabre dac in it. And would love your speakers.
JA's bech tests yet to come.

+1 with tomcarr,
The Freya preamp is pretty darn good for the cost and it leaves you enough for a Vincent, Adcom or Schitt amps/amps.

All the best.

kns54 OP

I’d go along with that too curiousjim , a Schiit Freya (great switchable tube/ss/ or passive preamp) with a Schiit 100w Vidar. Should work a treat with the KEF 103/3, and at 93db maybe the Schiit Aegir 25w class-a if he doesn't want party levels, that would sound sooooooo sweet.
And the OP kns54 can trial them for 15 days
