what amp under a grand?
Well, that is one view and I respect it. Another view is you need more power to open up the speaker, not just to get it loud. I think a 70 watt amp is not ideal for this speaker based on my experience. Sure it will play the speakers very loud, as ... 
Romulus CD player--
I don't know, but it seems to work pretty well. If one could find any fault with this player/dac, I could say it is a tad dark. The Signature mods help address this somewhat however. I think a Sistrum Apprentice stand will also help and I have one...
