I dunno about the pricing, maybe the other people also got demo models? anyhow its a fair price for that amp, and i also would reccomend a used or new NAD. the C-350 would work well, i use the C370 with my M80's and am very pleased. although the NAD models would probbly be more than the Cambridge. Im sure that you would be really surpeised how much better it would sound with a nice amp and cd player even if it does break the budget! lol
