Anthem 225 V Exposure 2010S Anyone ?
I was just about to start this same thread. I heard an Exposure, in a dealer room, and it did sound very "right", just as reviewed. I'd almost given in to grabbing one, when I saw the Anthem 225 - the feature set is closer to what I'm looking for,...

Given my original post, how about an Anthem 225? This has all the features I want except for a 2nd pair of speakers, is priced so that I could stretch my budget a little and get a new one (or find a used one), and seems to get as good reviews as a...

Reviews on the NAD C372 sound perfect. No phono stage or balanced ins though - is there *anything* at this price point that has these features? I realize I can get an out board phono pre, and adapters for my balanced gear, but it sure would be nic...

I'll see if that's still n the newsstands. There was an NAD M3 that came up on the classifieds for $1600 recently, That was still a little over my budget, but I'm kicking myself for not grabbing it... A 2nd hand Bryston seems like it would also be...
