any advice appreciated
check out the may audio website. they're selling out of castle speakers below cost. for about 1k you can get harlechs which are many times better than the mozart. the nad and any front end will make bigtime beautiful music 
Upgrade from Old Basis Ovation
memories tell me the ovation was a proverbial giant killer over a decade ago. i bet it still is. unless you're going to drop a whole lot of money(maybe for a table thats marginally or arguibly better), just enjoy it..its a classic.

Recommendations please...
there are a unique pair of roksan rok ones on agon that will fill a big room with sound. they are also front ported so placement near walls is not a big deal. very rare and very sweet for 550 bucks. 
Totem Hawk vs Acoustic Zen Adagio
its all objective of course, but i'm with you...the hawks are great, as are the totem forests. 
SET Integrated Amps
well...there are lots of choices, but there is a bel canto integrated SET on agon that is as good as it gets. check it out. 
Norah Jones a tinge short
