I had the BP-26 with MPS-2 for a number of years and thoroughly enjoy it very much. It has spades of speed, swing, infinite highs and the deepest controlled low especially when coupled with Bryston amplifier.
I have recently upgraded to Ref5 then Ref5Se and that's because I like to have a little tune magic in the mix. So it's more of preference then anything else. I think it matches British made speakers well and keep the PRAT in tact.
Enjoy!
