Cheers for the information, I've got a pair of B&W 601/II speakers... I'm not sure I guess my budget for a new amp. is under 300 UK pounds (um, loads of AUS$) but I'll give your recommendation a listen. It's a right pain, I only intended getting a new CD player and I end up getting new speaker cable, interconnects and now an amp. Bank balance, sorry monz!
