I started putting this system together back in 1991, first the Naim Nate 2 with a pair of Celestion 3's. I finally purchased the Spendor's last year hoping that would be the end. Any suggestions on how I can ameliorate the top end which can at times be slightly overbearing. This is noticeable with cd,and the tuner on occasion. Perhaps its time to upgrade the cd or amp, but find it difficult to part with the Naim and Pioneer. They have served me well these last ten years.
The Pioneer 65 is a very good transport - mate it with the tube DAC by Kora - the Hermes available from JC Audio for 1500 - use to sell for 4k - it really makes things so natural sounding.
