Chris,

Hard to beat Signal Cable stuff for this price range. I've owned/own all Kimber and Signal Cable pieces mentioned above. Kimber is very good, Signal I think is more open. Not a fan of MF. Not bad, just not great either. Look into some true English amplification such as Arcam, Onix.

B&W is okay, however in that arena the likes of ATC, Spendor really give it a hard time. Good luck and most of all have some fun.

If your budget allows, I highly recommend AZ Silver Ref. ll, which is especially a good mate with the Satori.
There is a pair for sale right now here on Agon for a fair price and I am in no way associated with the seller.
Good Luck!
