Getting started with integrated-advice.

Thanks I think I'll look for a Nad c370. unfortunately I
just missed the two that were for sale on Audiogon and I am
without a nearby dealer. The only authorized dealer online
I could find was Yawa and they are backordered on that amp.
Good point about the remote too.

What speakers do you plan to use?

I am currently listening to polk minis on stands. Don't
know what they are. They sound okay with the Sony powered
sub from a compact system.
I saw some Soliloquy 5.0 monitors with stands on Audiogon
and I am interested in those. I will probably end up with
standed monitors and an upgraded sub of some type.

If you're looking at Soliloquy 5.0 monitors then you should consider vintage EL84 integrated amps. All my friends who heard my Daystrom 282 ( same as Heathkit SA-2 except looks more modern.) in that power range got blown away by its sound. I bypass the treble-bass and invert control. The power produced by most of the EL84 pp amp ranges from 12Watt to 18Watt depends on the size of output transformer.

You might want to call kiefsav.com in KS. Ordered many products over the years from them and their $$ and service
have been excellent. They carry NAD. They might even have a demo. Bill
