Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers
Hard to go wrong with those Dyn Special 40s. I own Dyns so I'm biased but for me their tweeter is just so dang good. It is very smoothe and integrates with the lower frequencies very well. Good luck.   
God doesn't need to know what time it is.
Watches have very little to do with time or the telling thereof. Watch people understand that. Non watch people do not.   
Any song recommendations for testing purposes?
War Pigs  
Bought powerful/expensive Amp+Speakers but plan to use an old preamp , am I crazy?
Yes you are crazy. We are all crazy. The world is crazy. That said, do what makes you happy even if your old preamp will hold back your new rig.   
Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears
I think Russian orchestral music conveys emotion so well, especially rage, anger, loneliness and at times humor. Rimsky,  Shosty, Borodin and Mussorgsky are my go to composers.   
Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut
Re sounds. Full-bodied, rich but detailed as well. Big sound stage. Bass is not overbearing even though it has big bass drivers. I drive them with a Lux 509x. Your Michi unit has more power. I'm sure the big Dyns would kick butt with your gear. I ...

@ mournbladeiv   I think you'll like the dyns. Not sure how they'll compare to the others listed. I love mine. You've got plenty of anp to drive them properly too.   
To DAC or not to DAC ?
The bluesound gen 3 node is a nice improvement over its predecessors.   
Great song to test bass
Dance of the Knights from Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet. Especially the LSO recording under Gergiev. 
Focal, B&W or Martin Logan
What about Dynaudio Confidence 30? In the general price range of the others. Really a superb speaker. The Sopra 2s are great, but that tweeter could take some getting used to. I haven't heard the 3s. I could listen to those Confidence 30s all day ... 
The smoothest amp you've heard?
@avanti1960 does too smooth mean no good re the L-509x? I have that amp and would take exception. I think it is a fantastic piece.  
Does Heavy Metal music benefit from a high end audio system?
War Pigs is a great HM song to test a hi-fi system.  
Who are the Stand Up Guy's and Gals in this Audio Industry?
Dan at Dedicated Audio is very solid. 
Best Integrated that you've heard under $5k
Supernait 3 is a high quality piece.  
Sugden/Allnic or Luxman L-509X?
I’ve been running the 509x for about a year now. The predecessor amp was a Supernait 3. Cardas Clear cabling connects to Dynaudio Contour 60i speakers and a d-03x CD/dac. I’m so glad I bought the 509x. It is a beautiful creation and a real powerho...
