| Thoughts on potential new system? I've had good luck with Parsound, I own a A-51 five channel amp for my HT, if money is a problem, the A-21 also performs well..much less expensive than the Mac, and very reliable. Sounds like you put together a nice new HT. Which Marantz did you g... | |

| Bryston 28B-SST2 or Karan Acoustics KA-S 600 ? The Hegel runs cool, and I usually leave it on 24/7, except when leaving on vacation for over a weekend.

When I switched in my new Hegel H-30, as a single stereo amp, and paired it with a E... | |
