Rogue Audio Sphinx at $1295 looks like a real winner!

You can buy direct from Quicksilver like I did. Mike will take returns if you do not like them. Give him a call.

Yes you can!

Take a look at the Quicksilver line,you can get Amp and preamp new for that amount of cash! 
Using Dipole Speakers in a Stereo System
Solo guitar and light jazz,get yourself a pair of Harbeth P3 ESR'S. No speaker I have owned reproduces a guitar like them. And placement on these are a breeze! 
Speakers with their own amps
They are nice if you don't care about being locked into the amps that come with them! 
Oldest piece of gear you own
Advent 300 receiver circa 1977.I use it in my den and it still sounds great!

I use Quicksilver tube phono with tube linestage. All tubes is the only way I would go!

A new pair is on Ebay for $1199 with free shipping. Buy them and resell them if you don't like them. 
Legendary used amp, or economical new one?
Go new! Why take a chance and end up with a headache down the road?

You should try a graphic equalizer. It goes between your amp and preamp and you can fine tune the sound to your needs.
