Options for integrateds for Ohm Walsh Tall 2000s?
When I hear “too perfect” I’m thinking the sound of Quad Electrostats but with good dynamics top to bottom. That was the reference sound I was shooting for when I decided to give the newer Ohms a try. They can deliver that but only with amps that ... 
I need more Power Scotty !!!!
I have both ls50s and ls 50 metas.Having driven ls50s with various amps I'll go out on a limb and say your Outlaw receiver has plenty of power for those.So question is what is it you are looking for in terms of sound when you say you want more pow... 
If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile?
Sound and music in particular is a very fragile thing. Does not take much to mess it up. Much harder to make better.....

Great philosopher once said "you make bold assertions in public.....then be prepared for the challenge". That’s just how it goes....So be prepared. Otherwise it may not be such a great idea to start with. Crying victim after the fact is never a go... 
Schumann Resonator
Oh no now I no longer know what to do for sure! Disclaimer: I may be biased.  I could even be very biased.....but probably not. 
Perfect Pop Songs
"Wichita Lineman" by Glen Campbell.I like the "Winchester Cathedral" nomination as well.Just for contrast I’ll toss in "Highway Star" by Deep Purple. Once the opening riff starts you are helpless.and for something more modern: Alesso - Heroes (we ...

Ohm Walsh the best, but also always liked the old Totems, aka Arro, Forest, etc., for something more conventional but not obtrusive, especially with current used prices. PSB Synchrony also very good. 
CD or Streaming... am I missing out?
You are missing out if not streaming.  Sound quality is not an issue. 
Why No Love For Peachtree Audio?
Good to hear! On paper, their stuff seems hard to beat for overall performance and value.

I've seen that Wyred amp at a very good price recently and would expect it to do a very good job with Ohms.   I understand the "too perfect" comment and don't find that a surprise.   Where does one go from there?   "Good sound" always  comes down ...

@reubent thanks for the kind words.Have not heard Rega amps but they are well regarded in general and should work well.

the motor has to work harder as well just like a heavier car puts more load on the engine. 
Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig?
It does not make sense to me to ask for opinions on a hifi forum regarding this.  Nothing is more important than your health.

I have 100 series 3 (8" driver) and 5 series 3 (12" driver) Ohms. One generation prior to current. 100s are close to 2000s in size.. The Marantz is fine to start with on paper....the bigger speakers alone will help to better fill the room. Adding ...
