Well I am alowly acquiring gear for my master bedroom..

So far... I have the speakers...

I would like to have a tube preamp and a solid state amp... but not Odyssey... lol

Definitely would like a decent source -- I actually think I am going to want something with IPad function as crazy as that sounds...

Id like to keep the gear between 1000-1500 with cables and everything

Speakers being used will be Tyler Acoustics Taylo Reference 2 - they will not need a subwoofer and will need decent amounts of power.

    Is there a reasonably priced Mcintosh integrated that exist that doesnt need to be rebuilt and suck under a grand?

    Whatever you do, don't get a Peachtree Nova. Those things are so over-hyped.
