You have more patience than I do. I always feel like I'm spending way too long getting the gear together. I want to be onto working on the room already, so I'll be happy when my equipment purchases are taken care of.

The amplifier I'll be able to use for a long time. I know the pre-pro will be replaced probably in a couple years, knowing me, so I'm not as worried about that. I'm hoping the amplifier comes with a nice long warranty, even if it won't be 20 years like some people's.
