    Well, bein's that I fought in the Great War of aught'8, I ain't scert of no fancy-pants book-learned fellas. Now get away from my horseless carriage before I give you what-for.

    BAHHHHHHHHH!
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Pro amps suck.

    I have never seen such expensive, piles of garbage in my life. They all sound like **** and they all have the reliability of a Ford Model T. They are built with the cheapest parts possible and are designed with no current reserve. Its just straight, hot sound that sucks.

    yes Sid, but how do you really feel!!!!!!!!!!!!

    and what do you know............I mean you only work with them everyday.

    HI, don't worry, name calling is a sign of transferance of your feelings. How you actually view your own self efficacy, of course round here its just names, cuz we are all freaks.

    I would go with a nice $300 - $500 integrated for the Lsi9s. Or, get LSi7s, a sub, and then more integrateds in that range can get the job done (7s being supposedly easier to drive).

    Nad, Rotel, Music Hall, Musical Fidelity, Arcam, etc. all have several nice offerings in that price range.

    I haven't heard Pro amps. There was one guy (I think on Polk Forum or AVS) that talked about the awesomeness of car amps in home audio setups. He had car batteries strapped under his couch or something. I'm serious. No joke. To each his own.

    Good luck in your journey. Yours may be a very windy road if you go with a Pro-amp, but straight-aways aren't that much fun anyways.

    This thread has been very entertaining, BTW. Good stuff.

    i believe Bama mentioned a NAD, a very fine choice and one of RT1's favorites. I have had the 2600 and 2700 power envelopes, very nice amplifiers at low cost.

    I feel so violated!!!!!!!!!!!!

    RT1 is Skeeeeered.

    OK, I will be serious for a moment.

    But only one moment.

    This is the advanced part of the forum, the people here are well versed in all aspects of audio amplification. We have been chatting together for years about all things audio and I mean all.

    Enjoy whatever amp you want, I will be holding a large audio event for this club in October, feel free to come and bring your pro amp, I might have a few to match it against for your listening pleasure.

    In case you cannot make it, thanks just the same for the knowledge, albiet you might want to try the basic forum, however, its only a recommendation.

    Thats my line
    Now bite my hook
