For NAD, I would probably recommend the B&W speakers. Sonically, I feel that they make a better match. In my opinion, Monitor Audio would go better with a warmer sounding receiver such as Pioneer Elite, HK, or Marantz.
I agree with geekboy in that NAD will likely be the more musical choice.
I think I would agree with what has been said before. Any of these combinations would be very nice so I suggest you spend the time to audition as much of this stuff as possible. I can say that I love my Elite/MA combination and can recommend it highly.

Thanks Guys
What is your comment on these combinations?
a. Marantz 5300 and MA B2 about CDN$900
b. NAD T743 and B&W 601 s3 about CDN$1500
The dealers here don't carry MA and B&W together so I can not audition them side by side.Which combination will give warm and detail sound without listening fatigue? I know that the decision still up to myself but I just want to ask your own experience to give me some info.
Being in Canada I recommend you also check out the NAD T743 with some Paradigm combinations. Paradigm's are relatively cheap here and are a good match with NAD.
