Thanks for all your responses. I will update my rig when I have it completed. Passion for audio is an infinite desire. It never seems to end. Always searching.... Sometimes I wonder, if it's just me?
The sheer volume of classifieds on this site suggests otherwise, LOL.
I do have to say that I am extremely happy with what I have now - and feel very lucky that I got there quickly and can mostly stay off the merry-go-round for a while.
My system that drives my Revel Salon 2 speakers is this: Krell 402e BAT REx Preamp Esoteric K-01 CD/SACD one box unit Stealth IC cables Siltech LS100 speaker cables
the sound is wonderful. I think the Krell works extremely well with the BAT/Rex tube preamp. My impression is that the speakers require a high powered amp to give the control you want in the bass as well as the dynamic responsiveness.
Since I had to spend a ton of dough on the revel Salon 2's had to settle for a NAD M2. Sound is OK but an upgrade will help in the future. PCM via coaxial sounds pretty good but not a lot of bottom end. I am sure BAT Krell combination does wonders!
