    The Onkyo is an entry level but is only a couple months old.

    I really don't need all the speakers, just mostly wanted the surrounds to replace the RT25's I am using.

    I have heard this setup in the past from a few different people
    Punches way above its price.

    I own the sub and a full 5. set to match but not the 1.1 I don't think.

    I think it's a heck of a deal at this price too. I would offer 150.00 if I didn't already have a GREAT NHT system. That Sub NEEDS that amplifier to work properly! I see some NHT subs missing that amp and that's a shame.

    That CV pre looks cool, but I wish it had a standard IEC inlet for power cable swapping.

    As much as I like Dayens gear, that Conrad Johnson is a considerable order of magnitude above the Ampino’s capabilities.

    Yes, I got that. and I still stand by what I said. There is just some gear out there that has a reputation above and beyond...those names include Pass Labs, D'Agostino, Conrad Johnson, Audio Research...

    I didn't say the Ampino Pre was bad, I just think for that price bracket, a used Conrad Johnson tube pre is a much better buy. Not to mention the fun and flexibility of rolling tubes.

    One thing to note about the Ampino and the CJ is the difference in gain. The Ampino only has 4 db while the CJ has roughly 16. Could be an issue for some.
