Tube pre-amp with parasound jc-1's
Cary also has HT bypass. Looking at specs and reviews, the Cary slp05 looks great. Seems from reviews that Cary is a bit on the warm side that could pair well with the jc-1s.

Dynaudio Confidence or Sonus Faber monitors
I am in a larger room using C2s with a pair of JL fathom 110 subs. C1s with a sub are nowhere near the performance, but agree C1 with sub v C2 w/out could be close. FWIW - I acutaly think the C2 is a great spot in the confidence line. C1 is great ... 
Which Quads: 12L2 or 11L Monitors?
I have the 12L2s and have never had an issue with crispness on the mid range. For the price point, they are pretty incredible. The bass is signifinaclty better than the 11L2s.Also, they do take a while to start sounding their best.As a testamanet ...

Help Me Choose Better 5-Channel Amp

current versus watts
Herman: thanks for the response. then, is it fair to ask when looking at an amp what the max current is and view it as a minimum threshold. for instance, in the example above, if the amp can produce 12.24 amps at 600 watts (and also assume a reall...
