What I purchased: * Pro-Ject Debut Carbon * Yamaha R-N602 * Q Acoustics 3020 * 750mm stands Very happy with the results. As some reviews have mentioned, the Yamaha seems to handle analog sources better than digital, a review comment I hoped to be true but took with a grain of salt. Yet...

Obviously micro systems (like the Denon DM39) lack bass because of the speaker size, but adding a subwoofer seems to distort the cost equation pretty drastically. Why is there not a category of subwoofer purpose-built to compliment the size, power output and cost parameters of micro systems...

If anyone has any thoughts about matching the Marantz with a pair of Klipsch B-20 (8 ohm, 92.5dB), I'd be very interested. I don't have a way of auditioning that setup where I am. http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/b-20-overview/
