Despite noting your desire to NOT go with a larger company, I would recommend the Marantz 8260. I have not had any issues. In Stereophile's Recommended Components for two years running. Plus, it's WAY under $1,500. Put the extra dough in software and/or cables!
Best SACD player under $1500?
I was looking at the Music Hall Maverick since I don't need multichannel, but I heard so many complaints about quality control that I've just about ruled it out.
I like the idea of going with a smaller company (instead of Denon, Marantz, Sony, Yamaha, etc.) but I can't spend megabucks.
Modest system will be built around Soliloquy 5.3s and an integrated amp to be purchased in the near future.
Any suggestions?
