Last time you felt that "tingling" sensation?
When Joan Sutherland sang Figlio del cielo from Turandot. Just when I thought a person could not sing louder or higher she ups it a notch. She turned it to 11 and blew me away. 
Adcom Vs Rotel
I would put Classe on your list. I have paired a variety of Classe electronic components with my B&W 802 Matrix Series 3 speakers to my delight.

Review: Jim Smith Home Consultation & Set Up Speaker

PS Audio Perfect Wave Transport/DAC experiences

Is difference between B&W 802D & 800D worth price?
