You're welcome, Bombaywalla. And thanks for the recommendation, Melbguy1. Basically my budget is up to $5000. However, I'd rather not spend too much on digital when I can do so with analog. That's why I asked about the Teac at $849 USD. I'm lookin...

Hi Chayro, I actually am gonna upgrade to more expensive and better sounding units than the Bryston stuff. I've been saving up for the last 2-3 years to do so. Yes, the Onkyo is fine, but I would like to upgrade the digital side of my system so it... 
Tube Friendly High End "Big" speakers
