Try to audition AU24. You may wind up saving yourself some money at used prices. 
help with s.s. amp upgrade
I used to run a Classe CA200 (later model w/heatsinks on sides) w/an LS-3 (non B unit) & it was a great match. good luck.

Please recommend speakers for Cary CAD-300SEI LX20
Coincident or Soliloquy might be worth a look. I've heard the later model SEI (w/remote) w/Partial Eclipses & it was really good. 
What new music did you get for Christmas?
"Mercy Now" is indeed great.....musical gifts I'm currently enjoying are...Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter, Oh Girl...if you like Lucinda & Mary Gauthier this is a must hear.Jonathan Edwards & the Seldom Scene, Blue Ridge...two great...

lately Horace Silver Quintet, "Lonely Woman"

New blood needs your Amp/system advice, please.
I used to have an LS-3 like yourself & ran it with a Classe CA 200 amp (the model w/the heatsinks on both sides). It was a great match & those amps can be had very reasonably. good luck & have fun.
