The less expensive route:
An NAD integrated ( which is warm and smooth ) with a set of smaller Pinnacles ( either 6 1/2" or 8" two way's / tend to sound a TAD bright / pretty efficient ) should work well together.
The more expensive route:
Musical Fidelity integrated ( clean and nimble yet slightly lean ) with Castle Richmond's ( warm and full bodied / medium efficiency ) should work well together.
Your Kimber 4TC would compliment either of these set-ups. How well the Marantz / MSB combo matches with either can be somewhat finessed via the interconnects. Quite honestly, i would probably suggest selling the MSB and just use the Marantz as a player. You could put the funds from the MSB back into the system in a place where they might make a bigger difference or more convenient i.e. speaker stands, small rack, reasonable PLC, etc...
Keep in mind that this is just my opinion. There are a million different ways to go about doing something like this and most all of them will net you better results than a CD boombox : ) Sean
