| Integrated amp for B&W 805S under $1200? I know you're asking about integrated, but if you want good sound, especially for classical music, my advise would be to go with separates. Here is something you can afford and manage with a $1200 budget:Pick up a McCormack DNA-0.5 Deluxe amplifie... | |
| great musician's audio systems I don't mean to swing off topic. I just wanted to add, that when I attened that concert in Carnegie Hall, I left with a very positive impression about Litton. He is one of the very emotional conductors I have seen. He is a complete opposite of Maa... | |
| tubes with b&w I would recommend a solid state amp, matched with a tubed preamp. That is what I have been using with my N803s for years now. For the past 2 years I am enjoying my speakers paired with Pass Labs X250.5 amplifier. I had an Audio Research LS-25 prea... | |

| Audio Research SP16 annoying volume control Or consider something like the Rothwell attenuators. Might be your cheapest solution. I haven't tried them, but heard good things about them. Search the discussions for Rothwell Attenuators. They might do the trick. | |
| Audio Research SP16 annoying volume control I had similar issues with my ARC LS-15. I swithced to LS-25 that has more volume steps and it helped, but the solution was delivered by adjustable gain of LS-25. I used it only on lower gain setting. That really helps. That's why I suggested lower... | |
| Oppo as transport I'll give Oppo a try if I can't find a cd player I can use as a transport. | |
