Well, I love the sound of B&W driven by Bryston. After 300+ posts, I am just about to cry. And look at those soldiers lined up to leave!!!

I think the post should stay (plenty of very good advice for novices -- from choice of SP3 and 2 channel stereo to speakers set up and room effects), as much as I hate the ending.
More importantly: best wishes and better luck in your future endeavors 1oldguy.
