McIntosh and B&W is known to be best match especially if you're willing to stretch at least $4k extra after you sell your Emotiva.For theater, I value Sunfire TGA as the best performance per dollar spent. 
Who is the WORST Audio Shop?
I have also positive imprint about Twins. Clean, organized, great public transportation and very cycle friendly. Loved the skywalk as well!

High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference?
my no. 1 design criteria for selecting a (belt drive) is actually to select a direct drive -- isn't that odd -- I wish my HK Rabco was direct drive! 
Should I Switch Preamps?
