| Integrated amp & player for B&W 804, pls Try the Musical Fidelity A300 150 wpc int. Antony Michaelson is into classical and his amps sound like that. Soundstage did a review on N804 / M-F A300 and called it a symbiotic match or something. Find on A-gon for around $1k. | |

He told me his speaker contributed at least 80% of the sound because amps sound virtually identical at the 1 watt used to run the high efficiency horns. Meaning, the lower power, the less effect amp qualities can h... | |
| any new Quad 11/12L owners? Glad you like them. They are very dynamic and clear. WhatHiFi reviewed an all Quad system and noted that Quad could be bright depending on the recording. Just a caution. | |
| A music system to operate to.... I like the Aiwa with white bass driver sold at Target for $150-$170. Has a 3 cd changer, tuner, sounds really good but doesn't play really loud. | |
| $2000 CDP for Rock Music???? Meridian 508.20 or 24? As mentioned,Cal also reviewed well for rock music by Stereophile. They may be out of business now. | |
