Morrow MA3 interconnects
I purchased them used from a third party, They could need additional time, I also own KCI firefly IC and they do many things well but I prefer the top end of the MA3's. I will keep listing and see what happens.

Updated system need your suggestions
Your right Niktunner, I have some components on the way and give some feedback. At this stage I was looking for any glaring weakness in the equipment listed besides what has been offered to date. Always appreciate the time members take to respond. 
Updated system need your suggestions
Thank you all so far for the input. Not thrilled with a use of a sub and prefer floorstanding speakers. I am curious that most of the posts relate to speakers I am all ears for suggestions for additional Int. amps and speakers. (Terrible pun).
