    I geuss i should have begun with what i have already, just not sure if this is the route to go or not, I do apologize. I do have a couple power amps already, a parasound 2125, & 2 crown 1502, & a Marantz 2 Channel Power Amp. I have a Marantz 2 Channel Rec. as well. What im not familiar with & seems like its this way, people tend to go with Intergrated Rec/Amp for Music more often.
    I, for whatever reason, cant figure those out. I dont know if thats the way I want to go or, would I be fine with what I have.

    I've personally tried the L100 with the new Marantz PM7000N integrated amp with built-in streaming and loved the combination. Highly recommend checking it out.

    Well, not THAT vintage. Lol. SM-80. But something about Marantz they seem to jive with.

    This.

    Then say what you like, what you don't like, what you want & what you don't want.
    And be prepared for the floodgates to open with information, opinions, data & such. :-)
