Klipsch Heresy iii paired with Vintage Marantz integrated amp?
I do not own Heresy III's but do own Heresy I's and II's.  I am driving my HI's with a 2004 NAD T773 AVR and my HII's with an Integra DTM-40.4 network stereo receiver.  Both sound excellent in their specific systems and rooms.  In my experience, b... 
Upgrade from B&K Ref 50
I have used NAD in my HT rig for the best part of 7 years now and could not be more pleased.  I am currently using an NAD T175HD pre/pro.  The newer T187, as well as the NAD M15HD2 , is now available or for upgrade with the new 4K, HDMI 2.0b(VM30...

Sorry, my page loads without issue, a little quirky but no lasting problems.Bill 
Yami A-S1100
Here is a Polish review if that helps.  You still need to translate to English.http://audio.com.pl/testy/stereo/wzmacniacze-stereo/2547-yamaha-a-s1100Bill 
Cambridge audio A 840v2 v Teac ai 2000
I have not heard the CA 840 nor the Teac 2000 but do own the Yamaha A-S1000, and love it.  Dead on neutral sound signature with Klipsch RB-75's and plenty of bass drive for it's "90w@8ohms/ch" power rating.  I do own and occasionally use a CA 640A... 
ANTHEM PRE2L Special Edition Preamp.
I would think this would match well.https://www.audiogon.com/listings/solid-state-anthem-statement-a2-amplifier-2017-01-11-amplifiers-77...Well built, gobs of power, and neutral signature which should let the preamp tube sound flow through.Bill

Klipsch Heresy IIL's-Opinions?
Love my Heresy I's and Heresy II's.  The HIII's are known to be better.  I have found them to not be amplifier picky and very forgiving.  Dynamics are free wheeling.Bill 
Yamaha A-s2100 vs A-s1100
@jl35 ,Let me clarify my statement. I am sure there are more differences than I pointed out and the 2100 is a better piece, but I just noted what I know to be true.I own the A-S1000 and I love it but would have no problem upgrading to either the 1... 
Yamaha A-s2100 vs A-s1100
From what I can see, the A-S2100 has (4) 22000 microfarads power caps and a fully balanced design while the A-S1100 has (4) 18000 microfarads power caps and is unbalanced.  Not much different between the two from what I can tell.http://www.6moons.... 
Need Some Answers Building My First Home Audio System, and using Cornwalls
Your NAD integrated/Cornwall combo should sound fantastic.Please keep us posted and enjoy.Bill 
Looks like B&K is back
It looks like the only model mentioned as Class D is the IZA 2.50.  The HTA 7.150 multichannel amp is Class A/B.  The other two amps nothing is specified.  Bill 
Why so much less for the new Oppo UDP-203?
The Oppo BDP-105 is a "reference-like" player with higher quality internal parts(DACs, power supplies, etc.) and a better/stronger/heftier chassis, while the 203 is Oppos version of a consumer model that does 4K, though clearly better than most mf... 
Good Receivers for Infinity Kappa 7.1 speakers
My experience with NAD with my Klipsch speakers is a pretty neutral sound signature.  Others have said NAD is "warmish" but with my Klipsch it is "realistic".  I have an NAD T175HD pre/pro combined with a pair of Acurus amps driving my Klipsch Ref... 
Good Receivers for Infinity Kappa 7.1 speakers
Sorry, I just realized you posted in Home Theater section.Not many high current AVR's are available new today but maybe the likes of NAD, Anthem, and Arcam.  Maybe Cambridge Audio also.Bill
