Thanks for your input, guys.
I've done some ad searching, and think I may have found an arcam delta 290 w/ phono stage for $325 shipped, so that's within my price range.
I sort of wanted to end up with a designated music amp and a designated HT amp anyway, so this way I'll be able to take advantage of any more advances that come up down the line in HT receivers by waiting for now. For the stereo amp, I just wanted to make sure it was a quality item that'd last for many years as a music system, and it sounds like the arcam should do that well.
For HT stuff, I'll just wait a while and pick up a used one from someone. The music sound is more important to me than the HT sound; as long as the HT is in multi-channel and relatively decent (Denon or so), it'll basically be fine with me. But I'm a music lover first & foremost.
And I'll most likely go with the M-22s. They seem to be the bookshelf favorite here.
Thanks a lot for your advice!
Eric
