WWWOW - thanks for the tons of advice. Now I am confused hahaha... but keep them comming.
As of now I have B&W 803's, HTM2 and 600s for my HT driven by Rotel 1090 amp and 1055 as receiver pre/amp.
The system that I am asking your help for is an entirely new system that i wish could be tube based. However, can I just switch the 1055 to a tube preamp whenever I want to listen to stereo and use the 1090 to drive it? How does the 803 do with that set-up? Or am i better off with a 2nd set.
