Newbie System Question sort of long, sorry

Mdomnick: Wow, that surprises me, but as I said I'm a novice so I'm hear to learn from you all. I'll do a search on it but I don't think the brick wall will choke power for my amp. The 4330 has a peak Power Amp Slew Rate of >40 V per uS and the surge suppressor doesn't kick in until maximum of 100 volts per microsecond (1 volt per 10ns). Thanks for the heads up.

Of course your right Zaikesman - the only real test equipment is ears not calculators.

Thanks for the quick and informative responses.
Zspradlin: I'll put that on my x-mas list.

Gunbei: Yes, I enjoy it very, very much. More than my wife; that's why I started with the speakers I've got and why they are placed where they are since she is the decorator and is only beginning to appreciate the value of better sound quality. My speakers are placed in the "long side" corners of a 12.5' x 25' living room. AFAIK they would be better placed on the "short side" corners but that's where the "decorating decisions are competing.
I've got Kimber Kable 8PR speaker and PJB interconnect wires.

My current preferences would be to have better lows and sound envelopment than notice the speaker locations at lower volume levels.(insert correct jargon here)

Gemini: Bummer learning on the Rotel player, that's my newest component, but I still appreciate your input. I've always been wary of buying used.

Thanks Buckingham. Glad to avoid everyone re-typing stuff, I know newbie questions get old.

Zaikesman: Thanks for the comments and compliment. I understand what you mean about always fiddling, I already do that with my car. I'm satisfied with this system, but I know I would enjoy better, to me it's a compromise between what I want and what I could get and keep my marital bliss. I guess what I mean for a "life system" is one built on a larger budget than my wife would understand before this system was put together. A lot smaller than what many of Audiogon's subscribers would probably spend but about 3-4 times that of my existing system.
