Thanks for replying, BUT except for the MMG, your recommendations are not specific enough.

I am not asking people to do my work for me, but, frankly, I have heard a lot of budget gear, and for the kind of music I listen to, a lot of the fave-rave budget gear does not have so much more to offer over one-brand systems you could get at Best Buy that the price increment is justified.

Fr'instances, a lot of people were raving at the Show in San Francsico over a certain speaker under $400. I dutifully went to hear it, and it sounded like hi-fi and not music. Detail but lacking body and impact. But the Usher "emulation" of Sonus Faber at $1,000/pr retail was something I could live with. But I sense that there is clamor for components in the $300-500 range. (Don't be disappointed if I listen and then say it's a nothingburger.)

So I am asking for people to recommend specific pieces of gear, specifically. Manufacturer, model number or name, and contact info if they are obscure.

Thanks,

John
