I see your point. Well, as I am/will be using just one pair of 2/3 way full-range speakers, I'm saying this may be the bottleneck. Thus, amp/s (less than $8k) that can drive speakers that are >88db at 4/8ohm, with enough headroom for orchestral music, would be ideal. Of course, I do understand that in addition to these parameters, subjective enjoyment also can dictate one's decision. So, you're right, much of my compromise is based on purchasing $$$. That said, I want to "maximize" my $$$ for procuring the most "accurate" (or least colored) amplifiers. Whatever that means. ) I'm still new at this and have not heard that many equipment. Not that I want to "hear" a lot of equipment...I just want to put together a reasonable system, which will provide some semblance of enjoyment that I get from attending live symphony.

If you meant to say "advertisement," then I concur. For example, I'm getting ready to demo a pair of speakers from SP Technology, a small shop based in Indiana (www.4sptech.com). The owner/designer appears to be a very competent, enthusiastic, and helpful gentleman. We'll see/hear how his speakers will sound. Also, my preamp is from a little known manufacture, which is the type of company from which I prefer to purchase; however, it's more difficult to research this type of companies/products.
Again, thanks for your comments.
