Hi. I would strongly recommened trying the new Spendors. A number of Sprndor group members have finally given up their BC1s for the A9s. I did a 'review' of the A7 a few months ago, I've linked below. I used to own S8, and now use BC3s for what thats worth.

You could also improve the speaker by bi-amping, btw. ie, one amp for the lows and 1 amp for the highs - they can be the same type of amp, or they can be different amps if you level match them with resistors or an attenuator.

Try biamping just 1 speaker with both channels of the Cary and see if you can hear a difference. You should - more 'air' and midrange clarity is what usually can be recovered the music via bi-amping. So if you like the result, than you can get 1 more amp (I'd suggest a solid state for the bottom), and level match with a passive preamp between your preamp and one of the power amps.
