Interconnects between Bryston BCD-1 and B60R
Mogami Gold AES XLR will gives you lots of clarity, bass, detail without brightness. They are neutral. Used by pros. They will out performed many $$ cables. Cost 90.00 per pair. 
Best Digital Source That Money Can Buy?
I like to add Bryston BCD-1 cdp or their dac BDA-1. I have the BCD-1 and it sound is the most analog sounding i have heard. Many reviews availiable on the web. 
Sonus Faber and Haydn Grand
Second the Opera Loudspeaker suggestion above. They are very musical. EXCELLENT imaging and easy to drive. 
McIntosh C2200 w/ solid state amp?
Jan, I have similar set up. I have the Mc402 and 1037 BE. I am getting great results with the c2200 pre amp. I like this combo very much. If you go this route you may want to roll the tubes. I use Mullards tubes that i got from Upscale Audio in Up... 
JM Lab Alto comments please
I agree with Arthur. The JMs can sound different with different set up. My 1037 BEs started off sounding lean and bright in my system when i first brought them home. I upgraded my cables to all Virtual Dyanmics and applied Xtreme AV Quicksilver Go...

New Nordostline : Heimdall, Frey and Tyr
I had the Nordost Frey ICs. Sold them and bought Virtual Dyanmics. The Frey were detail but bright and harsh in the highs and mids. Much of the mids are missing and non existance. Bass is less. I experienced sibilence in the highs and mids especia... 
Virtual Dynamics original Master Series

What speaker cables to buy
Do you self a favor. Read up on Virtual Dyanmics. I upgraded my speaker cables to VD replacing Transparent Super. Even their entry level stuff are great. Using VD is like doing an amp upgrade. In my case i use VD all around. I now get pure music!!... 
JM Lab Speakers With McIntosh Amp?
Not exactly the combo you are talking about. But I am listening to MC402 / c2200 Pre and the 1037's Be. This is avery nice combo for me. These items are mosly linear so you also need linear cables. I tried so many cables but finally found Virtual ... 
JM Focal 1037 BE speaker placement
I was confused also confused with the instructions. But I think every room is different. I too, perfer my seating position just outside the distance the speakers are apart giving me a more of a focused stagging. Good for vocals. And by adjusting t...
