I am beginning a slow process of building a music system disguised as a home theater. I, personally, find nothing more enjoyable than relaxing with a glass of wine and listening to good music. (acoustic guitar, jazz piano, female vocals) every step I take toward high-end audio pushes my reference of what good music is even further. I have introduced my wife to this world but she doesn't share my passion. But she loves watching DVD's so a compromise was reached. Realizing I will probrably never be finished upgrading components to achieve better and better sound, I've got to start somewhere. I love the sound so far, and will only like it better as I replace mass-market components with more musical ones. It doesn't matter how much money you spend if the music doesn't move you. Right now I'm alive in ignorant bliss.
Hi Genem, B&K is okay, I have one collecting dust that I bought new years ago. Bryston may sound horrid with your speakers, Brystons are bright amps and the last time I heard them with Maggies I could not even listen for more than a minute.... If they sound ok, then I would highly recommend buying a used Moscode 600. You can tube roll to tune in your system, and it can really drive difficult loads, but like Brystons, Robertsons, and others, it is a bright amp, it's not for all speakers. I have 2 and can not imagine selling either of them, which makes them a little hard to find, but they show up from time to time. Lou
