Ayre CX-7 vs. Meridian G08 ?

Pre to match Rowland Model 10 ??
I highly recommend the Sim P-5 with the Rowland. You should be able to find a use one at the top end of your price range. 
Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?
If you can wait for them to be built as they are built to order by Rick Reimer himself, they are outstanding and efficient. Call Rick if you're unsure, he's a great guy.
