"Best" amp/pre-amp for Joseph Audio Rm7 Sig MkII
How bout Manley Stingray? Manley/Joseph always is paired together. 
Dynaudio Contour 3.0 recommend?
Not sure the Pass would be great on the Dyns...too polite. 
Best Integrated for Audio Physic Virgo III?
Cary and Audio Physic are a great match in my experience. 
First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No

Please rate WATT/Puppy 7
Soundstage is a Wilson plus--they must have been setup incorrectly.They may do things that some don't like, but the "wilson soundstage" has always been first rate.
