mesch.  Thanks for the added info.  I don't necessarily have to run two pairs of speakers simultaneously.  I just tried it for a lark with the Dayton amp and it sounded great.  Using the Omnipolar OM 10's with the more detailed sounds of the Conwa...

To the other people that responded in regards to buying used.I would prefer to buy new at this point.  Buying used at this point in time seems foolish.  While I can get something pretty good for a good price, if I have to start shelling out money ...

2psyop.  Yeah, I just read a great review of the Outlaw in Stereophile.  That will handle four speakers or bi wiring.  Would have to check with the company to be sure that my 6 ohm Mirage could be bi wired with it.  May be the best way to go.  Sav...

donvito.  All I am going by is what I read on the Onkyo website manuals. I don't have enough of a technical background of the circuits and design of the units to comment.  I have friends that are Broadcast Engineers and others that have a backgrou...

Just checked the manuals of a couple of Integrated's.  Looks like Onkyo amps need at least an 8 ohm speaker for bi wiring.  But Marantz says  a 4 ohm or higher will work.  Same with Yamaha.  That is good news.Will hope the Denon can last a few mon...

helomach.  Thanks.  I've read a number of reviews where people claim the newer Yamaha amp's sound bright.  What is your opinion of this?Mesch mentioned Cambridge Audio but upon review and reflection from a previous Cambridge amp I owned, it was to...

Thanks for the added info on the subject of running four speakers.  Got away with it on the Dayton amp but won't even think of trying it now with the real amps.Oddly enough, I just got home from work and plugged in my headphones into the Denon PMA... 
Integrated or Receiver?
Well, that is interesting.  I guess I should just use a single pair of speakers per amp then.  I was thinking of two pairs of speakers running simultaneously on the same amp.  Did it with a little Dayton 120 amp for while and it sounded great.  Bu...

I like Yamaha.  Have a 35 year old A 500 right now but given the age I think it is wise to get something new just in case that decides to bite the dust like the near 30 year old Denon.The new Yamaha or Onkyo may match up well with the Mirage speak...

According to the manufacturers, I am reading on the back of amps or receivers that you can't run 6 ohm in biwire mode (morphs into 3 ohm) because it will overload the amp.  Do a close up of the back side of some amps and receivers from Yamaha, Onk... 
Integrated or Receiver?
Yes, I am looking at the new Yamaha stuff now.One problem I am running into is trying to find a amp or receiver that will allow me to Biwire my 6 ohm Mirage OM 10's.  Every amp or receiver I've looked at can't handle the lower impedance except whe...

Thanks for the additional suggestions.  When I have time this week I will look into them.1graber2.  The NAD CD player that I had died after a year and a week.  Warranty was for one year and right as it expired, it promptly bit the dust.  Bought a ...

yogiboy.  Thanks.  That may work.  I was reading about the SR20 just a few minutes ago but this one appears to have what I need including the phono stage.  Plan to have a turntable again.  Will consider this but will have to do more research first. 
Integrated or Receiver?
reubent.  Have a Tuner, CD Player, Cassette player.  That Nuforce won't work for my needs.  Thanks for the suggestion. 
Integrated or Receiver?
Hopefully the amps and receivers are better quality than the CD players. I had a NAD CD player a number of years ago that croaked right after the warranty expired.  Will at least take a look at them.  Not going the used route again at this time.  ...
