Goose89---I'm suprised nobody has brought up your choice of transport.A 1200 player whose primary function is for dvd??? I have Pioneer Elite 09;I also have Theata Data 3.for cd playback---Not even close. I'll let the other guys make the amp suggestions.
Amplifier suggestions
I am using Sony DVP-S7700 as Transport to Theta Casa Nova to Aerial 7B. I would like some suggestions in the $3000.00, (used), range for amplifier. My room is 15'X30'X9' ceilings and I listen to Jazz, Blues and Rock at high volume levels. The Aerial's need an amp with good bass control and high power output. Thanks in advance.
