I agree with Dave: the B&K and Dynaudio's.
I've got an older B&K pre-amp/tuner and amp hooked up to the TV. I put it in my main system when a tube went out in my Herron pre-amp, blowing the Herron monoblocks. The B&K equipment is really nice.
I had a Musical Fidelity A3.2 integrated for about a month, the dealer loaned it to me since I had traded my Krell pr-amp and amp in on a Musical Fidelity A308cr pre-amp and amp, and they had to be ordered. I actually quit listening to the A3.2 integrated because it literally made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't believe it sounded like it did when the A308 pre-amp and amp sounded so good.
On the speaker side, I've listened to both and personally I've liked every Dynaudio speaker that I've heard. The Focals I like too, but if I was going to buy one, it would definitely be the Dynaudio.
But that's just my taste in equipment. Honestly, if it were me, I'd match the Dynaudio's with Simaudio. I really liked that combination.
