| Best Fanfare? Erich Kunzel with the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra on Telarc. A Telarc recording you can actually listen to. | |
| VTL ST-85 Amp, any Preamp recommendations.... VTL 2.5 is a nice combo. Less expensive and still very good are the Antique Sound Labs pieces. Good luck. | |

| Best powered mini monitors w/out sub Acoustic Energy AEGOS sub/sat system for $400. | |
