    The Mac, I think might stretch the budget...

    On A'gon there is and MF Kw500 and a Tri Vista. Those would be my first two choices. The Luxman 505, if you can find one is very intriguing. I've never heard that one but Lux makes great gear.

    YMMV

    That Tri-Vista 300 is sold now (went for $2k) It was the same one that was on Ebay and Craiglist in Phoenix. He wanted an extra $600 to ship it to me. I told him to re-think. I guess he finally did, but I had already burned my bridges with the guy.
    For rig details, see my profile. Nothing here anymore...

    For 3K, I'm with TroyD on this one - look for MF Kw or Tri Vista Int amps - they do show up in this price range and the phono section on the MF integrateds are really quite good!

    Tad high for that 308 imho. You can get the A5 for that which is a bit more powerful. Difference being too the 308 was made in England and the A5 I think anyway, China.

    Amendoza,
    Don't have a recommendation for you, but would love to hear your feedback on the Tekton's. The reviews I have read all rave about them, but some of the forums have been trashing the guy for his customer service issues. I have the Enzo's and Sea Pendragons on my short list. Thanks.
