The 352 is being replaced with the 402, 400 watts per channel. You may want to consider that one. I have a 202 in my office very nice power amp. 
Ever try online music through your preamp?

Stan Warren Amplifier Mods
I have a Adcom 555MK11 with mods by Stan Warren that I bought here on audiogon, very nice amp. This amp compairs nicely with my Bryston 4bst, so whatever the mods are the final results are pleasing. 
Tyler Ref Monitors vs. Dynaudio 1.3 MK11
I own a pair of tyler ref moniters and can highly recommend them, one of the best sounding speakers that I have heard in their price class. Ty has used and demo from time to time and will include a 2 yr warranty.

Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
I to have a pair of 300 mk11, also found they need a lot of power to sing. Having owned both f"s and walsh 4"s these are to my ears more refined. The cabinet although is not as well done from a veneer standpoint as the 4"s were. I have been able t...
