How about a couple of crayco car amplifiers? Now that is synergy!
 Considering nobody has really even heard these speakers yet, it may be difficult to decide what treatment they get. If they sound very similar to the rest of the SF line, it seems that LAMM or Mac are your two front runners since those have been talked about ad nauseum. Personally, if they are as warm as the rest of the SF line, I'd be looking into something a little crisper on the sound side, say, Halcro, even Krell - but even those at their top of the line may not be high end enough for a $210,000 retail pair of speakers.

Yeah I agree with the Boulder stuff, too. Should work very well. Boulder + JM Lab is stellar, but still a bit too forceful on the upper end; with a (perceived) warmer speaker by SF the Boulder should truly shine.
*edit: The Boulder CD player is freggin' amazing - and not even for playing CD's but to house as a DAC/music server via ethernet; their remotes are bulletproof, and you can use your iPhone to control the whole system (probably Droid app too)...
