So, Saturn, after all that amp/reciever testing can you tell me what your quality sound/price ratio winner is...Just in case i have to replace my old Yamaha 1020 (circa 1978)some time soon. I have a rotel cd 951. Assume it will be driving M22's w/sub w/no HT intentions at the moment anyway. thanks

if only Sound/price ratio (for solid state and strictly my personal opinion)
For stereo only:
money willing
RA-1060 or RA-02 or RA-01
http://www.rotel.com/products/integrated-amplifiers.htm
Rotel makes excellent pre-amp sections for the price.
Your 951 is an excellent CD player 20 bit Burr Brown PCM-69 DACs HDCD will compliment any of the above.
The M22 is very efficient and 60w is lots of power to drive.
or a used C370/C350/C320BEE Stereo Integrated Amplifier

I've compared the pre-amp section of some of those Rotel above to a Bryston pre-amp/integrated and both do not add to the sound. Both are clear, clean and neutral and do not add to the signal. The only difference is that the Bryston pre-amp is 3 times more. I was able to to determine that those preamps above does not add to the signal because my CD player has a built in volume control where I can plug the CD player right into the power amp. When I put the pre-amps between the CD player and amp I personally did not notice a difference.
That being, does anyone know if any of those All-in-one players or SACD combo players have built in volume control so that I can just plug that unit to a couple of power amps? Some people have mentioned that the shortest path to a speakers is best.

Saturn,
I don't know of any modern disc-players that have an integrated volume contol for anything other than a headphone jack.

Thanks, Saturn. So if Rotel and NAD for 2 channel, what's your pick based on the same criteria for multi-channel.
