It's a damn shame that Joe Abrams doesn't make a version of his Portal Panache with a remote since so many people seem to want that. Otherwise I'd put that on your short list of amps. Definitely add the Unison Unico to that list which does have a beautiful remote and sound that reflects that beauty. Or for a real change, go with an all-tube system since you like Jazz and Jazz vocals. In that case I might go with separates like Quicksilver Mini Mites with one of their preamps, or perhaps a Cary pre. I'm not familiar with your speakers or how they sound, so I don't know if what I might suggest would be a departure. I like Silverline monitors, specifically the SR17. There was a pair on the 'Gon recently with some minor cosmetic damage that was priced at an outright steal. Don't know if they're still up. Another speaker that intrigues me in the same vein, though I can't say I've heard a pair, is the Reference 3A DeCapo which has garnered universal acclaim.
