Hello Jeremy,
your system does not look to bad for a beginner.
I have been thinking about purchasing the SA15 to replace my sony XA333ES.
Did you compare the SA11 to the SA15 some reviews have said there was not alot of difference but some other people I know thought they were very different.
The rest of my system comprises of a Marantz PM14 amp and Warfedale evo 30 loudspeakers.
Regards
Blair
