Thank you all for your responses. I've been lurking around this forum for a while and have been delighted with the thoughtful, unbiased responses put forth by the community.
wid, I have no idea where to begin on audiogon. Any suggestions? I thought the a/b speaker selector "requirement" might narrow my search. Also, (audiophiles look away) I was not planning on using a preamp. I didn't think that I would need one, as the power amp would receive an input signal directly from a digital music player
www.slimdevices.com, which is a life-altering open source device with a great community as well.
Thasp, I don't know how much power I need for my purposes. I'd rather not spend the extra dough if I won't notice a difference. Would a more powerful but otherwise identical amp produce better sound at low/moderate volumes?
