Description

On a very tight budget and wondering where my money can best be spent next. I love the Dahlquists but I know they need some real power to do their best. I'd like to find a reciever with pre-amp outs and use a good power amp to drive them. A sub would be nice as well. I listen pretty much exclusivly to CDs, mostly rock and some jazz. The biggest limiting factor I think is the fact that all this is in a corner of a room about 10'x12'.

when i was 18 i think i was listening to cassettes and records on a real cheap TT. i thought cass. were the greatest thing as a couple years earlier i was stuck with an 8 track player,and didnt even know high end audio existed.but i did manage to buy a used marshall 100 watt half stack,boy my nieghbors hated me!your off to a great start,you might want to check out an anthem mca 20 power amp,200 watts and great for rock and jazz,good strong bass to,you can find them used for aroung 500 i believe,best of luck!
