| Pre amp recommendations Stay away from this website if you're trying to protect your wallet! :) I've also heard great things about SPL, but haven't heard it myself. | |
| Magico A3 or A1+Sub I'm a big believer in getting as full-range as possible within budget, etc. Integrating a sub properly is not an easy task and while it's fun for movies, it can be completely frustrating with music. | |

| Solid State preamp Brands I'd add Pass Labs to your list. | |
| What Power Amplifier Should I Buy? @zlone - I agree. I have an XP-22 and it's outstanding. I have zero sibilant. I also had a ML pre prior to the XP-22 and bottom end is much more pronounced. | |
