Here’s my $1750…just tell me what to buy..

Mechans, your post is one of the most presumptuous I`ve seen on this site in some time.Do you know him personally?
If it was tongue in cheek,my apology.
Regards,

mechans, we've already spent too much time responding to that post, but thanks for the thought..

i just looked at your system, looks beautiful and im sure sounds just as fine...maybe youre a neurosurgeon?

:)

No just an out of work clinical pathologist. Sorry if I was a little to edgy. Honesly for the $1750 you can go to almost any HT store and get a decent unit. If you want more than it will need more effort not just investment monetarily. That is why I initially said go to a store and they will tell you what to get.,
If I tried to convince you of what I like separates not HT and all tube you would be spending time away from your kids or patients not great alternatives.

I thought I posted this the other day, but it didn't work for some reason:

Wyred4Sound Mini MC 5x220 Class D amp is $2,000 (slightly over your budget but a hell of an amp). I happen to like Class D amps - especially for HT. They run cool and have lots of power and control. The W4S amp gets great reviews. I haven't listened to it, but I have a Bel Canto that is similar in design and reviews.

Another great option is an NAD Masters M25 amp on A'gon used for $1,799. 7x160 (and NAD watts are typically underrated). Retails for $3500.

Get Music Directs Marantz AV-7005 its on sale currently for 1195.
instead of 1600.00. Even Michael Fremer likes it!!!
