You haven't mentioned budget, but I like the mixture with Arcam (AVR 400?)

The AVR 400 can be found ex-dem for around that money. Do try other AVRs from Denon, Yamaha and Pioneer.

Edit. Can be found here (courtesy of Bigboss) @ £1099: http://www.whathifi.com/news/hot-deals-unilet-blue-murder-sale-starts-ap...

Hi Scott,

I am looking at a similar set up for my next HC setup. Can you please tell me where you bought the rig and how much did it cost?

BTW, I have a Yamaha 3067 and looking to pair the set up with the yamaha.

 

Thanks
