BTW... I guess I owe you all some follow-up. I ended up purchasing the following to round out my system:
Rotel-1095 amp
Integra DHC-9.9 pre
Paradigm SA-35 surrounds
Sonus Faber Solo Home center.
All from right here at audiogon.
I'm still waiting on some items for shipping, and I need to get some electrical work done to accomodate the amp so it will be several weeks before I'm up and running.
Thanks to all who responded. I got some good tips and you've all been very helpful.
