MMGs

Two more cents:

Prior to my .7's, I sometimes used a pair of inexpensive Pioneer Andrew Jones 8" powered subs with the MMG's.  That system is one heck of a musical return on investment.  The subs are packed away now because I'm happy with the bass response of the .7's.  

Gotta admit I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the options.

Am now wondering if I should venture into streaming, since (in response to JohhnyB53), the CD player is my only source.  Streaming then leads me to a NAS of some sort.  Those two lead me to a DAC.

Budget under 2k, what should I be looking at in these three areas?

To elaborate on my previous post a bit, if I introduce $2500 into my budget and take my current equipment into account (1 year old MMGs worth $450(?) and an old but checked out Adcom GFA-555 worth $300(?)), then I have $3250 to spend if I liquidate my current gear.

Some of the options you all have educated me on, and I am having trouble deciding between are:

1) Gunn the MMGS for $2500 and keep the Adcom. This option puts me 3k into speakers which is 3.6R territory plus a host of full range speakers I only have heard names of.

2) Replace the Adcom with an Odyssey Khartago ($1000) or Parasound Halo A23 ($1000). Keep the MMGs or upgrade to 1.7s ($1500). There is also a Bel Canto S300 on here for $750 or a Classe 15 for $1000.  

3) Replace the Adcom with a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum integrated tube amplifier and replace the MMGs with 1.7s ($3500)

4) Keep the current gear and add a subwoofer (or 2) for $1000 - $2000.

5) What I mentioned above - Keep the current gear and invest in DAC/NAS/Streamer.

I recognize the ultimate decision is mine, but please continue to comment on your experience with some of these combinations.

I would start with a Khartago and either the .7 or 1.7. Love the 1.7 haven't heard the .7

Those also are easy to resell if you change plans
