Bien sur mon pote.
Having spent
just enough time here
, I'm not sure you can find a single audioholic that will tell you that any certain pre/pro mates better with any certain speakers. As for amps... maybe an outside chance, perhaps in more extreme circumstances, but it's basically all about having enough power or current to drive any particular speakers at any particular volumes at any particular seated distance. Not matching in any other real sonic sense, even if different amps may sound different. Your room's own acoustics will overwhelm those differences.
I happen to own both NAD and CA amps. I'd be a little wary of NADs pre/pros, and their bottom of the line entry stuff. Just my impressions. Otherwise they make hefty powerful amps.
In all honesty, and I'm betting this is downright impossible, Id get whatever is less expensive while fitting your needs, and budgeting for room treatments.
Though not too many, there are a few who do not find the need for treatments. So far my impression is that once you get a critical mass of stuff to treat the room... it's all so much, um, "tighter" . . .
Less harsh, and it's more obvious at greater volumes I find. This is all late-night blabbering, excuse me.
If your wife would kill you for that, Id check out the WAF friendly treatments threads in the Room Acoustics subforum.
Otherwise, have at it! I hope others notice the phono part of your post, and have other possible recommendations.
