Hello,
My prior amp was no amp.......this will be my first venture into separates, and i'm replacing
an old Onkyo receiver (model 939) with a 9Bsst and an Integra Research RDC-7.1
( a card-slot design av-pre). I was able to demo the older revision 'ST' amp from a buddy for a month and it seemed to mesh well with my speakers, some older large NHT's, so i think this will be a good choice.
Andy.
