I appreciate every little bit of advice from all who have a little more experience in the separates arena. I just want to make the right decision in regards to the combo I get (pre/pro and amp). I am sure I will hear a huge difference between any separates set-up and my receiver. Of course, I would like to have the biggest, best, and newest toys possible, but I also do not want to be sleeping on the couch for a month either. Trying to stay within reason is tough. What I am most curious about is will I truly be able to hear a huge difference between this amp and this amp. Will the largest improvement be moving simply to separates as long as I get an average to above average amp to work with the AVM 30. In all honesty, to a newbie, will there be a large audible and quality difference between let's say Anthem, Parasound, ATI, Bryston, or Rotel combined with the AVM 30. I am not trivializing purchasing higher priced and better quality products for those who have been doing this for a long period of time, I will probably be like everyone else and get bit by the upgraditis bug after I get a taste of what's out there. I appreciate everyone's patience with a newbie who is excited and enjoying this new hobby (just gaining new information and the pursuit is enjoyable to me). Thanks.
