Good luck, indeed, Tickfight. If I remember correctly, you were talking about the DB-99's and then asked about an appropriate SET amp under $2K, yes? Pairing the components for sonics, as well as balancing their respective capabilities, will be crucial in assembling a synergistic system in my opinion. That doesn't necessarily mean spending a ton of money, but rather spending it consistently in the direction that will ultimately please you. Audition whatever you can. Consult with friends whose audio goals are similar to yours. In the end, you will have a very satisfying system. Can't wait to see what you get!
