I need some direction


I've got the itch for more power and something different. My current system consists of Marantz SACD (SA-8260), Audio Refinement Complete Alpha and JM Labs (816s) with audioquest cable. I listen to Jazz and R & B w/ some classic rock on occassion.

Lately I have been looking hard at the Portal Panache Int. I have a weakness for passive integrateds (owned 3 Creeks)but most were not powerful enough. I'm curently in a small to medium size room but will be moving to a larger one in the future.

Any ideas ?

If you already like the Audio Refinement have you considered the YBA line? The Initial will not give you any more power but you could look at something like a Passion 200 or 300 integre. It would be a mighty step up but could very well keep you from wanting to upgrade for ten or fifteen years.

Good luck!
