For those looking for something less expensive, look into the Powervar advertised here on Audiogon.Picked one up myself recently and the difference it makes was NOT subtle. 
Which Integrated got you off the merry go round?
Valve Audio PredatorHybrid design giving a taste of tubes. 200 watts in 8 ohm doubling into 4 so will always have enough power no matter what speakers you have. All for 2k (B stock) at Music Direct 
why does my plasma tv screen occasionally blank
I'm suspecting the cablebox because I'm getting dropouts while watching recorded programs via the DVR.I'm going to try component cable next. i just hope its not the plasma.

Followup:Well, the dropouts are beginning again even with the new box.Time to call Cablevision.

I had the same problem and found it was indeed the cablebox.replace it and it should be fine. 
Anyone drive Magnepans with a B&K
KevykevOne other thing about the B&K. The B&K is 70 watts/channel amp but does not increase into 4 ohms as most other solid-state designs.....not one bit. Since the MMG is a steady 4 ohm speaker, it gave the B&K fits very easily. I had...

KevykevMake sure you have a box of extra fuses for the MMGs. I had that amp and a pair of SMGa many years ago. The amp would clip and blow fuses.It will all depend on how loud you play & the size of the room. 
speakers for Naim CD5i + 5i amp
HiIm using a pair of Elite SEs with my Nait5i and CDX2 and think its a wonderful combo.Like you, rock is my preference. Depending on the size of your room, I think the 5i will have no trouble handling the Elites. I have mine in a pretty lage room ... 
Epos Vs. Neat
LooseI assume Steve had your Mystiques driven by a Naim amp?A friend of mine had a simliar problem when I sold him my Mystiques. He heard them when I was using a Nait 5 and loved them. When he brought them home and hooked them up to his CJpre/ VTL...

Best Support For Rega 3
Try a Neuance shelf under the Rega. A friend of mine loves his under his Rega.i love mine under my Naim CDX2 and Nait 5i 
Warm sounding speakers for Naim Nait5 & CD5 ??
PandersoYou found the Dulcets warm? I had a pair of Decapos with Naim Nait5 and CD5 and would'nt consider the sound "warm".I'd describe the sound as very transparent and on the analytical side. 
good match for Atma-Sphere M60
Add Soliloquy to the list.I ran Soliloquy 5.3s for some time when I had an Atmasphere S30. Added a touch of warmth that I fekt needed in my system at the timeCheck out this ad on Audiogon and he's local!{url}http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?... 
Warm sounding speakers for Naim Nait5 & CD5 ??
TomFirst, I must remind you that I have no experience with Naim and Spendor so take it for what its worth.Ive heard some Spendors- afew years ago- sounding great with jazz and classical but a little to polite for rock.But if warm and pacey is what...
