I've had my Matrix 801's S3 for 12 years now and have tried amny combinations.
I have "settled" on:
Amp: Threshold SA12e monos
Preamp/Cd Palyer: Krell KPS 20iL
I found simple but high quality is best.

Also...believe it or not: McCormack DNA-1 at only 185 watts/ch sounded very very very good. Awesome value.

Classe M700 monos were teriffic as well but the Thresholds
are special
I vote for Classe...(DR 6 and DR9mono) also Bryston 4B ST is very good and capable to run these speakers!
