Conrad Johnson PF2-L to . . . what?
Hi - Good suggestions - thank you!  Doesn't have to be a C-J.Will watch for a P18 . . .  
Looking for a SS integrated amp... approx. $1200 range
The Musical Fidelity mentioned by @creativepart  is indeed good.And the Exposure 3010S2D should be in your price range.  I've not heard it compared directly to the others mentioned, but it's terrific - dynamic, colorful (in the good sense of that ... 
Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos?
Or a Belles 350A Ref, which should be on the way shortly.   
MSB vs dCS Bartok
Rfc - Very little will be as dynamic and punchy as what you had . . .  
Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible?
Michael Green Revolution series speakers.They were actively bad. 
No-one talks about Rowlands anymore
Two thoughts on JDRG:I can't speak to Rowland's current products, but heard a Coherence 1 Mk2 with the 1,3,5, and 7 in the same system.  Obviously a LONG time ago, but it was just astonishingly good - beautiful to listen to.  I lusted after a Cohe... 
Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos?
Hmmm . . . M700s now delayed until May, date unspecified.  May have to consider Belles Arias . . .  
BELLES VIRTUOSO INTEGRATED UPDATE
@audioconnection  - Exposure 3010S2 monos or Aria Monos?  Speakers are MA Gold GX300.   
new D’Agostino progression impressions
One company appears to have reduced prices already - Teddy Pardo, based in Israel.  A piece that had been $1395 is now $1099.   
Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos?
@feldmen4 - Thanks!  That's very helpful, as your speakers are pretty close to mine (or at least should be!).  As mentioned above, I may just buy a used A21+ to compare to the M700s (incidentally, apologies to all for getting the thread title wron... 
Class D is just Dandy!
Every time I see a thread like this I remember a scene from the movie Gettysburg - "I take men one at a time.  Anyone who judges by the race [group] is a peawit."  So it is, I think, with Class D, or A, or B, or any other variant.   
Parasound A21+ or PS Audio S700 monos?
Since I have the time, I ordered a pair of M700s (the fact they are made in the next town over is a positive!).  Should be here in a week or so.  The promotion ending today made that decision easier . . . May also try a A21+ as several people have... 
New updated Dynaudio Confidence line.
They do appear expensive for what they are . . .  
Upgrade Krell KSA 250 to what?
You've got a truly great amp (and I say that as a non-Krell person - I've done the Linn/Naim/Exposure route).  I think you'd be surprised at how much better it sounds after servicing.  I've not had a Krell serviced, but the difference in a Naim am... 
Upgrade Krell KSA 250 to what?
I’d just have Krell service it.  Good amp, you’re happy with it in your system, etc.  A different amp might undo everything you’ve put together.
