Haven't pursued it for years, but I do have two favorite setups:
The old McIntosh MC2200 and modern Martin Logans.
McIntosh mono 40s and Bozak 302 Urbans.
Both setups driven by mainlined CD players.
And I have a few dust collectors in the garage:
Mc MC75, Mc MC250, Mc MC2100, Boulder 500, a surprisingly accurate APT Holman pre, buncha Bozaks, and misc. other junk. I'd get another pair of JBL 4311b if they were easy to get in good shape.
I can't avid using subjective terms in this last statement: If I use a preamp, I like the old McIntosh C-11 (or the nearly-electronically-identical C-22) because I find it "musical", whatever that means. The Marantz 7c is too "sweet" for this old rocker.
