Good amp for JM Lab Daline 3.1
I would prefer seperates. But if there is a good integrated that is an excellent match I would go for that too. What about CJ equipment?

Some of the Naim speakers are specificaly made to go against a wall 
warmer pre-amp for Adcom GFA 555II
Conrad-Johnson PV11. I used this with a 555mk11 with good results really smoothed out the mids and highs. 
Power + a bit of warmth for $2K or less?
Krell KSA100mk11 saw one for sale on AG for apr. 1100.Warm tube like sound 100 watts high current can drive anything. 
looking for a warm ss amp....

wadia digimaster x-32
I believe what you are seeing is a BNC connector if I remember correctly. You need to buy an adapter or better yet have someone terminate one end BNC and the other RCA
