thanks to all of you for your most generous responses.
I'd like to clarify how I'm planning on using my system, even if what I say is audiophile heresy and makes you want to throw rocks at me ;).
I listen to radio (NPR news only) on a Tivoli Model One, so I don't need a tuner. Space is a premium at this point in my life so everything I have must do double or triple duty. I plan on running a DVD player through this thing (yes, only 2 channels-I don't care) as well as a CD player and even occasionally my girlfriend's Ipod or computer. (Heresy, I know. Still, the little things are darn convienient, aren't they now?)
But a little voice inside my head tells me that if I set the L-1290's up right with some real power behind them and put on some of my favorite music, that the grin I had when I was 17 years old will again creep across my face and I'll be asking you gentlemen for more advice...Damn...It's supposed to be like that, isn't it?
Integrated, huh? Just as I'm looking at reviews/auctions on and ADCOM GFA-555 mk II on ebay for USD $350....
Oh, I have so much to learn and thank you all for your patience with my silly questions.
