Suggestions for medium priced Power amp and Pre-Amp Combo's


I have a pair of very good Magna plane type speakers and would like to build a system to power them.  I have always wamted an amp/pre-amp set-up, probably tube, but that is where I want your help.  I love Jazz and want to hear the instruments.  I want clean sound.  But I would like to keep the combo under $2K if possible, but more importantly, reach that quality level that maximizes sound quality without getting ridiculous on price.  Like buying a low end BMW, still getting the performance, but not at huge cost.  My listening space is very bright acoustically.  Thank you!

I had a Stratos + in the early 2000s then an Extreme a couple years ago. I found that you could set the bias higher for a slightly “warmer” sound and lower for a little bit leaner and faster sound. I ran mine on the upper end of the high safe recommendation. 
Last one I had I blew the damn thing up doing the bias! Shorted out something with the meter. 
Tubes for $2k?
Schiit Freya+ for Preamp.
Maybe a rebuilt Dynaco ST-70 for an amplifier?
Right around 2kish.
