Wow, thanks for the informative reply! I've spent hours on this message board and you seem to give solid advice.

One question: Is it more affordable to buy an Integrated Amp, or pre-amp and amp seperate? I need to save up and decide,

I have also read that it is good to look at audiogon, as it would be better buy used, higher quality amps? For example, the A500 is 399 I think, for that price I could get a used integrated that originally cost well over a 1000$!!

Its just I wouldn't know if the amp. pairs well with the M22Ti's, and that could be a BIG problem, right?
