| Solid State Integrated in 1500- 1800 range ? Check out the Sim I-5 used. I've had one for about 6 mo's and while it's only rated at 70w/ch, it sounds much much bigger.

| Spica's TC 50 vs. Sound Dynamic RT 3's While I've not heard either, I have read what Stereophile said about the RTS-3. And, AudioAdvisor has them on sale for 199. So, I'd say get a pair, listen and if you don't like send them back and your only our some shipping costs. | |

| ATC speakers, anyone heard of them? I heard them(SMC20 I beleive)at a shop in San Antonio. I must admit they were fantastic. Great sound, especially considering their size. The build quality was excellent. My only drawback was the price. If I remember they were $4,000. Check out www... | |

| Rega or Musical Fidelity ? I have the x-ray and love it. I'm told it's very similar to the A3. Also remember you get 30 days to try it at home through Audio Advisor. I'm lucky enough to have an understanding dealer so when I got the X-ray I took it to my favorite dealer for... | |
