Looking to match an integrated amp to B&W PM1 or..

How about the Rotel's? I heard they always match well with B&W's since the Rotel's are used at the B&W factory for testing. That would sure help my bank account as well.

Other amps are Classe' since they are carried at my local store and I might get a good deal to buy them together.

I don't know if this helps, but with my previous system, I loved the excellent midrange and taught base, but missed good high end treble detail (Dynaudio Contours). When I listened to a CM5 demo, I was shocked at how nice and detailed the treble was. I can't wait for the PM1 demo, it should be much better.

I guess the bottom line is that I prefer to stay away from an analytical system. I like open, airy, mid range; detailed high's for classical; and tight base for rock.

I auditioned the PM1's with the Musical Fidelity 3Mi yesterday. The sound was fantastic. When the music first started, I actually thought that the other speakers were hooked up in surround mode, they were that airy. The sound seemed to be coming from the other side of the room. I used to have a pair of Dynaudio Contours and they never sounded like that. After that, they hooked up the B&W CM9's and that airy sound was completely lost. The change was immediate, it was like someone put a piece of paper in front of the tweaters. The bass was certainly better, but I did not think it was worth the cost of the open upper frequency's that the PM1's did so well.

Anyway, I am wondering what others have experienced with Musical Fidelity's. The problem is that I can not listen to the PM1's with lots of different amp's because B&W dealers are not on every corner where I live. 75 watts seemed to be enough for what I listen to, but I am still going to listed to them with the 6Mi integrated for comparison purposes.

Thanks

I was initially going to look into getting the Caspian, the problem is that there are no local dealers and it will end up costing close to $3k delivered. What's more, there are no local repair shops either. The Caspian should really only be a little more than $2k when you take into account the currency exchange. For $3k, I am thinking I might be able to find a better amp.
