My setup is similar to yours with the difference being that I own a Wadia 830. I currently use Totem Model 1 Signatures as speakers which sound very good in my small room. However, if I had your identical preference in music and "deep pocket", I would purchase either the B&W Nautalis 805, Dynaudio Contour 1.3 MKII SE or the B&W Silver Signatures. Another suggestion you might want to consider, which falls within your budget is to upgrade the 3B-ST to a Sim Audio Moon W-5 amplifier and purchase a pair of Totem Mani-2 speakers. This combo is simplfy fantastic with no compromise in bottom end resolution. BTW, what interconnects and speaker cables are you using with your current setup????
