you might want to consider Audioadvisor...they offer a fair amount of nice integrateds and have great customer service...you can find them at www.audioadvisor.com....I have a pair of M3TI's that I am using in a CD only system with a Threshold S/350 amp and a Creek OBH-10 remote volume control acting as a passive preamp...if you only listen to CD's you might want to consider this option....get a great used or new amp and use the Creek as a passive preamp....
