I agree with akilesh, the Teac is hard to beat at anywhere near the price. Mod it a little and it's really quite a good little amp. That amp and a pair of Wayne's speakers, or GR Research if you want something different, would really give a long term solution. I think Wayne has a finished speaker for $350! Regards, Lee

Hi s7on3d, After looking on the NAD website and the Stereophile recommended components list in the October 2004 issue. You may want take a look at the NAD C320BEEE compact reciever and add it to your component list. The NAD C320BEE reciever, the Mission Beta 10's speakers that you mentioned earlier, along with a 10" Titanic MKIII subwoofer kit from parts Express should make for an ejoyable two channel system that will play classical music well. http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=300-760 Madisound also, offers a decent entry level subwoofer kit that should work well with this sysytem. Got to madisound at: www.madisound.com and look on their kit page. The Panasonic SAXR50 and XA55 are a few more recievers to check out on your search. http://www.pioneer.com As others have advised you already, it is up to you to deside which system sounds best. I personally like tube amplification, you can look on the used market at http://www.audiogon.com If you search hard enough, you may find a good system at a good price, but patients pays off. Good luck and happy hunting. Norris Wilson
