NoBudget

Thanks for the advice, now to find some product. I'm watching a couple things on e-bay, hopefully I will have amplification by the time the speaker arrives.

I am planning on either getting a Denon AVP-8000 pre/pro or if funds run short adding a Denon AVD-2000 processor to my existing Luxman TP-114 pre-amp. Not a die hard Denon fan, those are just what I found availble that I could afford. Would like to stick with separates so a reciever is not necessary.

Oh I plan on it. Just have more questions than answers. I also have a pair of cornwalls that I want to switch to tube amplification, but that is way down the road. And I know to post that in the other forum.

Been lurking for quite awhile and I just ordered an RC-7 to go along with my RF-5's and was wondering what I should do for electronics. I currently have only a 4-channel amp running my home theater system. I use the bloody TV speakers as the center. I bet I will be able to tell the difference once the RC7 gets here! The problem is I won't be able to even listen to the new speaker. I will go crazy because I have no power for the center. I spent most of my money on speakers, so I am looking for used 5 channel amps under $1000. That being said here are the models I have seen available in my price range: Rotel 985 Parasound 1205 Adcom GFA 7400 Anyone have experience with any of this equipment? Trust me, any of these will be a huge step up in quality; I just don't have an opportunity to audition any of it where I live (Iowa). I am looking for something that will not be too bright when matched with the reference line but not to the point of sounding muddy. If you know of better amps in my price range that are available, let me know. Thanks for responding in advance.
