Dear all,
I know there are already a few other posts like this, but I just want to get the latest opinion.

Right now I have a pair of M22 hooked up to an AIWA XR-H66MD (shelf stereo w/ CD and MD changers). I really don't think it's got enough power to drive the speakers, cause I'm never able to get it to be loud enough (my room is about 20x12), aside from not taking advantage of the great sound quality of the M22.

So, I would like to spend less than $500 on a nice setup. Is it better to get a preprocessor and amp setup or an integrated amp? Does a nice CD player really make that much difference on the sound?

Thanks for your help in advance.
