Hello
I'm kind of new here so bear with me. Right now I have some old Pioneer mains driven by a decent Marantz pm 500 amp (also old). I just recently started to upgrade my system and this is where the Nad c541i cd player came from. So far I love it and am leaving it running 8 hours a day to break it in (although I'm not quite sure if thats a good idea.) But the thing is I'm not hearing what is supposed to be heard through my old speakers and amp and am in the market for replacement.

This is where I need the advice of some of you pros. For my receiver I'm thinking about going with a either a Jolida SJ-502A tube, or the classic Marantz 2270. For my speakers, I am fighting with myself over two - The B&W 803 s3's or the Paradigm Reference Studio 60's. I like warm, clear sound and good imaging is also important in my music - Do you guys have any suggestions as to how I should go about doing this or if any of my mix-n-match equipment isn't right for the other? Any suggestions appreciated.
