I'm always looking for a good deal on used equipment and two-channel sound is more important to me than home theatre.

I like the Rotel line because of bang-for-the-buck.

I was really surprised how well the CAL Sigma/Sony combination sounded without upsampling.

The Rotel RB-980BX's that are bridged really put the power to the Kef 103/5's and the Velodyne sub (crossover set at 50hz) gives the extra base needed for cinema.

I'd eventually like to upgrade from the Rotel RSP-1066 to a pre/pro that reveals more detail. I almost bought an Integra processor but didn't when I discovered that there was no sub-out when in 2-channel pass through mode.
