Spectron Musician III MK2... what's next?
Wow, the power supply in that amp is magnificent. I bet your Sepctrons did sound excellent. If you decide not to rebuild from the Spectron parts and go with Class-D you might want to consider those with well built linear power supplies like that i... 
New to hobby: McIntosh D150 w/ McIntosh Amp vs. Rotel Separates
Disclaimer, big Rotel fan here. I use the RB1590. The RB1582MKII would work great with your RC1572MKII and the CM9 S2 speaker, which is fantastic. Rotel makes some of the best affordable pre/amps available with excellent power supplies and build....

Rotel RB-980BX
Congratulations, Jeff, the 702 S2s are fantastic speakers. I do wish I had a pair.  Your Rotel is a fine amplifier. Well made with a good power supply. You should get a good taste of what the 702s are capable of and enjoy them when the RB-980BX is...
