Exactly as you should be doing with that level of kit. At the Bristol 
show a couple of years back Arcam were demoing their, then soon to be 
released, FMJ P7 7 channel amp with their top end CD player - Not quite 
in the league of the Naim when it came to price but a nice few thousand 
pounds worth of kit. The difference between their mid range CD and Amp 
when used with the same (B&W Again) speakers was amazing and there were 
elements of the music I'd not heard in the previous playing! If only I 
could afford more than their entry level AV Receiver.
