Or power Alexandria xlf with a prima luna amp. Those are all good components, but they are in different tiers of performance.
Oh I more than understand about buying components over time as you can afford them and getting your system out of balance at times in the process - been there, done that, and I can still see imbalance in my own system. At this point, however the improvements and changes will be coming slower as the holes I'm plugging are becoming less glaring. The example I gave (and I really wasn't trying to pick on the person) just seemed to me to be a system that was egregiously out of balance and I was using it to be illustrative of my point.
