Adding an Accuphase A-46
You're welcome, Classact. Yeah, you could sell the E-560 and get a different preamp. But I don't see going through that hassle as the E-560 makes an excellent preamp.I talked to one of the guys from the Accuphase factory at CES last week, and he h... 
Next step suggestions, from Spendor SP100r ?

Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H

Hey Tish, so do you wanna form a club? lol. 
JBL S4700s
Good news, with more break in, the sound has opened up and improved! I also played around with positioning too, and things improved by doing that too. The dealer's set up only allowed a very narrow soundstage and not very good bass. Reducing the t...

Hi Jeff,Ok, cool. I'm planning on upgrading to another brand. The Bryston is good, but there's better.Sounds good. That's a very respectable system you have. Much better than what a lot of other people have.That's good to know. Some dealers can be...
