I bought a new SLP98P in Feb. replacing a C-1 Carver. I hooked it up to a McIntosh 7270 amp and it sounded great. I sold the McIntosh amp (had it 17 years) and bought a Primo Cary V12R amp. Get one if you can. It's a perfect combo and the sound is fantastic. I got rid of all 6 of my signal processors because I no longer need them. Good luck. polk432
