klipschguy, just a thought. Have you heard the Naim nait 5? This 30 watt integrated amp sounds incredible and blows its comp. out of the water when it comes to overall musicality; I'm not kidding. Bryston, Adcom, rotel,Mcormack etc. I've owned/ heard these and they all sound like a corpse incomparo. 1600$ new, but wait for a used one to come up, it'll be worth the wait, to acheive a much greater level of musicality.
