Some help shortlisting amplifiers..

Very nice and it seems you're onto speakers too. Slippery slope

If you’re into the B&W sound, some ex-dem or recent second hand PM1s are worth a try. The A39 would control them tightly (and they need that).

Congrats on the Arcam. +1 to this and Revel Concerta. For floorstanders, look at the new Spendor A2 (or A4), Focal Aria 926 and Martin Logan Motion 20 (or 40) if they fit budget.

Thabks for the extensive speaker list, plenty of reading and research to do there.

With a bit of luck I’ll win the Spendor A4’s up for grabs in the WHF competition that’s running the moment!

Would be the Arcam 49 and Revel’s good match you think ? I am also interested in these speakers.

Most likely a very good match

Thanks rainsoothe. And I would like to know more of what makes you think they would be a good match ? Any experience with the Revel ?

I heard the Performa F206 with Naim systems, on one occasion I liked them, on the other I thought they were too rigid - but I blame that on the NDX. With 152xs as source, I thought they were great. And Arcam is less blunt than some Naim systems, so they should be good together. However, you should try to audition.

floor standing PMC's should be wonderful.

Edit : pick any transmission line speaker, PMC were my 'in the shop ' choice.
