That's what I would recommend. The fact is (flame suit on) most modern solid state amps are very, very, very good. The differences between them are often nuance, if they are there at all, despite different design strategies. A serious reviewer I know said that, simply, amplification has been solved. Not, that is NOT the case with speakers. Speakers vary tremendously. On a budget, I would sink as much as possible on speakers, get a good source, and then worry about your amp (and you have to, to a degree, based on your speaker's needs). -- highdudgeon SB3->Nuforce 9.02->Harbeth Monitor 30s/Skylan stands and Quad ESL-988s.
