My friend used to own CDM 7NT + CNT.
He used the internal amps of a Yamaha RX-Z1, then switched in his older 70w Accuphase Integtrated and eventually ended up with a Bryston 6B SST.
The Yamaha could barely drive the 7NT and the Accuphase was imediately switched in which made the music so much better.
I lent him my 4BST and the sound became more livelier.
However, once I lent him my 6BSST, he got plagued and bought one himself. The sound was much more refined with the SST.
We have also listened to the new 805s with some MF equipment and it was a good match.
I believe B&W speakers are a good match with MF.
Bryston does work well too due to its high current capability.
It all boils down to your prefenerece and matching with your other components.
Try to go out for some demo's.
