Which is a better choice? New, or used preamp?
The dividing point might be remote control. If you can go without a remote, there are a lot of great preamps out there that go begging.One of my first considerations would be a Music Reference RM-5.Something else that will stun you if you can find... 
Bose 901 series VI & Yamaha A-S2000
Out of curiosity, I googled the Unity Fountainhead and found a thread with pictures so you can see what these speakers look like. They are much better than anything you imagined buying. If you can swing for somewhere near $2K and travel some to ge...

Here's a deal in Erie, Pa. and the seller sounds like he would meet you part way since he can't ship. Maybe you could meet up at Paterno's house for the exchange. State College might be a reasonable midpoint.I remember these speakers from the 1990...

These speakers would deliver a lot of performance for minimal money and they are located in the Tidewater area of Virginia. I'm sure they would be a good match for the Yamaha amp which, by the way, I also own and love.http://www.audiocircle.com/in...

Tell us where you are located and its just possible there will be some used speakers in your vicinity that you can evaluate in person. Audiogoners are everywhere.

I've decided to hold out for the Bose 902. It is rumored to have power grills and dual exhaust.

Rrog - You seem to me to be a neophyte. Because of your ignorance you assume as much about others. Fact is, Bose has never for a minute been about performance. It is a marketing triumph, pure and simple. Any contention that the latest Bose 901 is ... 
Wow, everything posted for sale is ''light use''??
"Light use" means they didn't listen in the dark. I thought everyone knew that. Have to agree about the credibility failure of those who claim they only took it out of the box to take pictures/never used.Let's face it - buying used is a crap shoot...

Everyone should buy what they like. However, all of us, if we are honest and we can still remember that far back, made a lot of costly mistakes finding our way. In those days it was much easier to turn your product back into the market place than ...

Fiddler - Your writing has improved but you need to work on comprehension. I thought I made it clear that I don't care who gets rich but I do care how they do it. Buying my legislators out from under me because they can afford to invest in that wa...

The end is surely near. This is a sign that the apocalypse is upon us. I think it all started when people began using "party" as a verb.Next I'll be reading about Wendy's gourmet restaurants.

Fiddler - For starters you need to know that you are not the wealthy we are talking about. You aren't big enough to sniff their socks. Those people have 25 employees in each of their nine homes, three complete flight crews and a staff and crew tot...

And the beat goes on ................China hasn't done anything to us. We did it to ourselves by believing Rush and his thousand clones and the Faux News propagandist blather. We may have elected GWB twice - or we may not have - but we got the Bus...

Mapman is right - the other shoe has dropped and we are waiting for it to hit the floor. My motto, since I became aware of the inevitability we face, has been, " I can't keep it from happening, but I might be able to keep it from happening to me"....
