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'.

One_shot- Great system! When I was your age(which was only 4 years and change ago) my system was so disorganized, I didn't put much thought into component purchases. It seems you are planning your moves wisely and it will make upgrading much easier and your system more enjoyable along the way. Listen to what the people here at audiogon have to say and you'll get the system of your dreams with minimal $$$$. I only wish I knew about audiogon when I was 17/18 years old, I would have saved a lot of money(and as you know at that age, that is a BIG deal).

Enjoy the tunes!
