Need a very neutral interconnect-
Van den Hul cables are well balanced and usually work well in various systems. 
Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?
The Audio by Van Alstine Synergy Integrated Amplifier would be perfect and it sells new for $1799.00. 
Best sub for B&W matrix 805
A friend of mine used a Velodyne sub with B&W Matrix 805s a long time ago. It was the ULD-15 I think. Amplification was Krell. Awesome sound. He still regrets selling that system. 
B&W 805 matrix question
I'm using my 805 Matrix with AVA solid state amplification and the sound is superb. Very natural and neutral.

Cayin A-50t vs. Rogue Audio Cronus
Haven't heard the Cayin but own the Rogue Cronus. It's a wonderful sounding amplifier and has good features such a phono stage, preamp out for bi-amp/subwoofer purposes and a headphone output. How's that for value! 
Want to improve sound of Silverline Prelude II
Hi Jim.I'm a bit late but what amp did you end up with to use with the Preludes? I'm currently using a Rogue Audio Cronus integrated with my Preludes and tied together using Audience Conductor cables and the sound is very well balanced. 
bad match?- Totem Model1's and NEW 20.1
Hello Chris. I had an Audio Research LS2B preamp at one stage with the Pass Labs Aleph 3 amp and Totem Model 1s.The weak link was the preamp and had the same character that you described. I've found that the Sonic Frontiers SFL series of preamps a...
