Hi there-rest of system is B&W DM 602 S3 , and NAD CD 542...

Right now I have a NAD pp2 phono stage

I went from NAD C317 integrated (80 watts) to a Rogue Cronus Magnum integrated. I actually had Rotel in between for about two months and it was so bright sounding I couldn't handle it. The only thing I miss about the SS NAD is the punchy tight bass. NAD is great stuff. I kept my NAD because I love it so much.
NAD C355Bee new (80wpc), NAD C372 used (150wpc), Cambridge Audio 650A new (75wpc). All of these amps are ridiculously good for the money, and your B&W speakers will benefit from the added power.
Not sure if this is allowed or not but I just listed a barely used NAD C355BEE for what I feel is a fair price.

I now own my 5th 320BEE and it's not going anywhere. I would sell the others and try something different, but kept coming back. I have a couple other amps I like that cost a lot more, but I could live with the BEE happily. Just don't be in a hurry because it's hard to beat for 2-3x the price.
I had a 320BEE (sold to clbone) and PP-2. Moved up to a Bryston B60 with internal phono stage. The NADs were great for the money. If I had the room, I'd have kept the BEE as a second system.

More money will get you a better sounding setup, but it'll cost ya.

If you upgrade anything, I'd say PP-2 first. Its a great entry level phono stage, but it can be bettered for not much more money and the 320BEE should easily show an improvement.
