amp or preamp..what should i keep?

I have a forte mod 3 amp and a ocm 55 preamp on the front end pushing some paradigm studio 60 v3 with a kinergetics sw150 sub. I dont think the amp and pre match up so well and not sure if i should invest in a new amp or preamp? cd player is a music hall 2.5. my budget would be around 700.

I am familiar with your preamp and Forte. Keep the amp and buy yourself a a nice tube preamp like the Eastern Electric Minimax preamp which is within your price range, you will not be sorry.
