Looking at the Audio Sensibility web site now and I don't see anything about a discount.  Where did you get that info?  Thanks.  
In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup?
Nice!  I believe that the dealer in Moore that I sent you carries all of those.  In a little higher price range, the new Anthem STR integrated amp is getting nice reviews, and it also has home theater bypass, so that you can keep your Yamaha 3070 ... 
Will McIntosh C2600 tube preamp solve my problem?
Ah, well, then the 2600 might be a great pre-amp option.  You should be able to find a lot of nice power amps to drive the 803s.   
Will McIntosh C2600 tube preamp solve my problem?
In your situation, it seems that a good approach may be, the simpler, the better, since it is going to take a while to get back "up to speed" on everything. Using a tube amp definitely doesn’t fall into the simpler category, as there are more spea...

@ moskaudioWhat did you decide to do?  Have you listened to any speakers or amps?  
Appropriate quality interconnect between Oppo 203 and Denon AVR? Suggestions please!
What about the Silnote Audio Morpheus Reference Series II RCA  interconnects that are advertised here on Agon?  They can be had for $199, which is nice.  Anybody have any experience?

Okay, let me back up a bit.  It's not like I don't have ICs on hand.  I have a set of Audio Art IC-1 and some other older ICs of which I do not remember the name and brand.  So, I could just use those if I wanted to go with entry level.  The IC-1 ... 
So many integrated options -- McIntosh 8900, Levinson 585, Lyngdorf 2170, Anthem STR,
Update: After being counseled NOT to give up my Krell class A amp, I’m now considering going with a pre-amp that has home theater bypass. My original thinking was that I could pretty much fund a new integrated by selling the Krell. But if I’m goin...

@ moskaudioFor the message I sent, you first have to go to the main Audiogon page and navigate to your name/profile box in the upper right corner, where there will be a drop down list of options.  Select "Dasboard", then "Inbox".  Then my message ...

moskaudio,I’m not sure if you are aware, but there is a great dealer right there in Moore, OK where you can listen to some speakers. Great guy to work with. I’m sending you a private message. I agree with others here that, as an actual transducer,...

Thanks, all.I guess I'm most interested in reports along the lines of Uberwaltz, i.e., ones from a person who has used some of these competing integrated amps.  My main objective is to get a sense of the "house sound" of these various integrated a...

Thanks, Dave.Just to be clear, my FPB 400cx is a single stereo amp.  Just clarifying this, since you used the plural, "amps" twice.  I would have thought that the pre-amp sections of any of these integrated amps might be superior enough to that of... 
Used Sonus Faber vs. New Entry level SF?
To me, it's a no brainer, if you find a used set that is in like new or excellent condition.  Speakers tend to depreciate in price so fast that you can get much better speakers for the same price as new ones.  The only caveat would be if the new m... 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
@ ctsoonerNice.  I'll have to check the Vandersteen room out!
