Thank you rainsoothe! I am aware of that, I have a chance to buy a second hand one. Do you perhaps know what is the frequency cut off in the sub out connection? Do you know something about the new amp, will it be as affordable, is there any talk around the forums on the subject?

Hopefully no one will mind me bumping this, I do need some info. I have my own thread where I tried to find an amp/DAC/bass management for my home audio. I've been searching for a unit like this for half a year now. XTZ might be it but for decent subwoofer integration I would need to know what...

No worries! If I don't find my 'dream-amp' *smile* I'm going with a sub that has a decent crossover that you recommended. I even set my eyes on one, the 2070 sub from QAcoustics. That one seems to have it all together with good price and good reviews. I'll still look around before I decide to...

I believe it works fine if you say so, but it’s not what I’m looking for. Not even close. I have a feeling you didn’t even read my first post. I’m looking for a stereo integrated amp and you’re recommending a home cinema processor with no amplification (from what I gather from the manual)...

@DocG I see you take time in trying to help me on my quest and I appreciate this. However, don’t take me as ungrateful, but what your advice translates to is: stop pursuing that and buy this. This is totally legit, but I’m not giving up yet. And if I do, I’ll probably go with your...

Thanks, man! To answer your question; I don't think one way or the other. I’m completely about sound; this is why I’m going for the 2.1 system with all these features, although a lot of audiophiles would never consider a sub in stereo hi fi. I ascribe this to reasons other than high fidelity...

@DocG - I don't mind, go ahead and mention it all. Every help is quite welcome. Thank you for the explanation on the signal path. My experience with active monitors is that they do not have a lot of different inputs. I mentioned a PC earlier which I want to connect with the amp, but I expect...

As much as I understand about bi-amping/bi-wiring it is all about the load and signal separation (no crosstalk), both of these are dealt with in a well-constructed and properly chosen amp for the job. Bi-wiring is much more frowned upon because it is all about signal separation after the signal...

Thank you for the answer. Just don't dismiss it so quickly. Some might be quick to trust you rather than try to remember themselves if they've seen something that might help me. @DocG may have recommended a suitable alternative that wouldn't be as expensive as the one you mentioned. If I don't...

Thank you itsme! I have them in mind and might use their services for a Marantz that has most of these features (HD-Amp1), but it's a bit weak so I haven't decided yet. I might. (If they go gently on the price) *smile* (Tread softly with the price because you tread on my dreams.) *biggrin*...

I see a lot of you took interest in what I'm looking for. Thank you all for your answers. @rmatthew - I’m far away from RicherSound and first I need to see whether there is such a thing as an amp I’m looking for and then try to see where I can get one. Even CambridgeAudio, that you mention...

Croatia is one of the former Yugoslavian Republics, Zagreb, where I live, is the capital. We already had Jimmy Carr and Eddie Izzard here, you should have heard for us by now. Charles was here just the other day. *smile* I'm trying to get the best possible out of the system. Setting the...

I was surprised to see how difficult it is to find what I'm looking for. I’m counting on your broad knowledge of brands and their products. I know exactly what I want, but can’t find the right one. It should be an integrated stereo amplifier that is designed for 2.1 stereo systems, around...

Thank you for both your 'welcome' and advice! dedier

In short; I'm from Zagreb, Croatia. I read What Hi Fi for years now and respect you for your reviews and articles, but I've never been a member in forums. I wouldn't say I know much about audio and acoustics but I find it fascinating and enjoy reading and learning about it. I am not a 'techy'...
