I have the Ref 2's and am driving them with a pair of Classe dr-9 amps. His speakers are made for SS amps of which Bryston is one of the best bargains out there.

I have a friend who has the Bryston 4 (an older one) with Maggie 1.6s and I can't believe how good it sounds. All in all his system is the biggest bang for the buck I have heard. Your listening prefrences would seem to match very well with what the 1.6s excell at as well.

Definetly check out the PMC speaker line. PMC is a British company that works directly with Bryston. Bryston distributes PMC in North America, and PMC distributes Bryston in UK. Go to "bryston.ca" for info. Almost any movie in recent history use Bryston/PMC for mastering soundtracts. Many major recording studios are using Bryston/PMC for mastering. I use a 3B-ST amp and PMC FB-1 speakers. Perfect match.

While I wish you the best of luck, I can't help but believe your doing this backwards. IMHO, you would be better off buying an amp that matched your speakers. Speakers can be a lot fussier with regard to room compatabilty. I generally find much greater sonic differences with speakers than amps.

Thanks to everyone to date for the great speaker suggestions.

Unsound: Normally I would offer the same advice. I usually upgrade every 7 years or so, however, my 8 year old Denon amp had to be put to pasture (served me well all of these years), so I needed to start the upgrade with a good Amp. With the bryston and I felt I would have an extremely good selection of speakers to pick from to continue the upgrade.

Again thanks to all.
