I mostly agree with this order except that I would move Adcom to the very end since I have never liked their amps. B&K and Rotel are excellent choices, Arcam is a good one too, and Outlaw's price to performance just can't be beat just like Axiom's speakers. Adding any of those amps will be an improvement over the 235's internal amps that's for sure.
