Howdy,
I am no real expert, but I would drop the Mac idea and maybe list the Carver here @ Audiogon. I truley believe a budding audiophile should Find the Best Speakers you can afford that fit your taste. Trying as many amp combos as possable. I would even say Blow your wad on those Speakes. Then get a little cheap used Hybrid Int/Amp to hold you over till you find the componites you would die for. I bought a used Jolida 1o3 for a couple hundred bucks and now I have the tube bug! Good Luck ;-)
