Building a System Around an Inspire Amp
As I wait for my amp, I wanted get your opinions and recommendations on how to build a system around it. I'm still in the early stages. My last real system (putting aside theater in a box stuff) was purchased in the late 1980s. It centered on a Carver Receiver AVR100 and Polk Audio SDA 2A speakers. They served me well for a long time. The efficiency of the speakers are 92db. I also have a couple sets of Orb speakers that are 89 db that I've used these in my office system. I recently got a very good deal on a Dared SL 2000A preamp before I knew I was getting the Inspire. I'm going to try that, though I'd like anyone's thoughts on whether asking Dennis to build one to match my amp would be the best long term solution. I'd like to continue to use the tuner in the Carver, because it is very nice. But I don't know how feasible that will be. I play records with a Thorens 125 with a Bang & Olufsen MMC20CL cartridge through an Angle Audio phonostage.
