next step please

hi there, posted a thread a while back but got few responses. hope this one would draw attention of others. i currently have a rotel rcd 951, denon avr 2700 and aegis one spkrs with ixos interconnects and monster cable for spkrs. yes, yes, yes. i know you're already thingking of what would be the next upgrade. have some options: buy an integrated amp or a power amp (receiver as pre) with a future upgrade of adding an audiophile preamp. budget would be from $500-700. hoping for suggestions, thanks a lot...zean

Yea, Manila is a tough one; ya know with all the middle east terrorists holed up in the Phillipine jungles probably making WMD's (or, maybe hiding Saddam's there!) and Americans so afraid of brown-er people in general, and then there is always the proximity/logistics issue, and...I hope you can use this forum to put together a nice system. Find a guy with good feedback, preferably mature and not pushy or a bull-shitter, trust him and pre-pay with overnight letter (@ $25 if I remember), cover the shipping, and you should do alright. I'm a picky seller and I've sold a couple of pieces to non-North American buyers in this way. Good luck. Mark

Sorry to come back late in the discussion. I don't think it's so much 2-channel or HT which is the important decision, although you do have to make that choice at some point. You can start with stereo and add HT capabilities gradually, and I used to plan do do that myself. (I gave up on it when the stereo system eventually just got too good, so that HT sources simply couldn't compare.)

The important point in identifying the goal is the sound. You need to know what you can aspire to. That won't help you pick out your system's current weak point--which you have already done well--as much as it will help you choose what to buy from the offers available.

Good luck!
