If it's not out of your price range, have a listen to the BAT VK50SE. I owned ARC SP-11 for years, and recently auditioned a ARC REF1. Then a friend bought a BAT VK50. I was hooked, and bought the VK50SE. It's breaking in now! Sad thing was the 50SE was not synergistic with my Classe M-1000 monoblocks. I dug out my old trusty Levinson ML3, and there was the magic! Good luck!
