What amp should I buy to power Martin Logan Esl's?
Not sure if this in your price range but when I had Martin Logan Requests I had Clayton amps with a tubed pre and it was an amazing transformation of sound. Expensive amps but highly worth it in my estimation...

Vicdamone,Agree on waiting until I purchase the preamp. What tube amp did you eventually change to? I have never owned a tube amp but would not rule it out especially with Sonus Fabers. The Clayton amp is by far the best I have owned and is my fir...

Zd542,Thank you for the information on the Aesthetix Calypso. I will do my homework and compare it to the Cary unit. Which CJ unit would you recommend? Have never used CJ equipment and have thought about trying their amps.The Nuforce amps are fine...

John,Thank you for the update on both units.Like I stated I have used the AI Modulus 3 along with Clayton M 70's and Martin Logan Requests and the sound was magical. The music jumped out at you and the horns were vivid and live sounding. Miss that...

Thank you John for the two choices. Are either one easier for tube rolling than the other? I will do some research on both units as they appear to be right in my price range.Does anyone have any input on upgrading the Nuforce amps or replacing the...

Jmcgrogan2,Thank you for your response.Used would be my first option. I would probably prefer tubes since I once owned a Audible Illusions Modulus 3 and liked it alot.Musicality would be my choice. The sound through the prepro is veiled and lackin... 
Advice on NuForce Reference 9 V3
What do you find wrong with the Butler amp? I have thought about doing the reverse. I have the older Ref 8's for HT and wanted to try the Butler amp with my Sonus Faber's. 
help on picking new old processor please...
I really like my Classe SSP 60. Don't see many used but it has been a great unit. 
Krell Showcase 7.1 VS Classe SSP 60
When I purchased the Classe SSP 60 I only had a few other choices to audition. (Anthem,Cary,Arcam and a few others)but ultimately chose the Classe unit. Have been very happy with it and will eventually upgrade to the new Classe unit with hdmi. 
Krell Showcase 7.1 VS Classe SSP 60
Good luck with it. A nice legend unit that I have a hard time thinking of replacing. 
Krell Showcase 7.1 VS Classe SSP 60
I have the Classe SSP 60 and it has been bullet proof since I bought it new. Sound quality is excellent for home theater and set up is a breeze. Not familiar with the Krell so will let others chime in.

Thanks everyone! My 55 inch Sony SXRD just got the green glob issue so just bought the 80 inch Sharp with 3D. Best Buy matched and actually beat the best internet price on this tv. Also did so on the Harmony 900. They are definitely trying their b...

Again thanks to everyone for thethoughts. Sounds like I might keep the Classe SSP 60 and add external correction for the subs. Will look at the Velodyne SMS-1 and Behringer suggestions. Which one is easier to use for a non techie? Or other alterna...

Thanks to everyone that has helped so far. The Oppo 103 and a pre or reciever that has XT32 are on my short list. Seems like every day I look new models are being released. Thoughts so far are to get an Onkyo 5509/80.3 or Denon 4311CI.Anyone have ... 
Requesting Thoughts and Ideas
Martykl,Agreed. This is where I am at currently. Not opposed to buying a receiver like the Denon 4311CI and running it as a preamp only.
