nice budget, sorry about your amp,i hope you get it resolved soon and are suitably rewarded.the pathos and unico are both nice i favour the pathos,i found the unico cd a little to bright but have not heard the mystery pre as it was with a unico intergrated.i love valves and was gutted to sell my leak stereo 20 and croft micro,which brings me onto my recommendation.have you considered the croft range,very nice.if your based in london walrus systems is worth a visit as is kj west one.i do hope you find the system your after and with your budget much fun to be had.also have a look on the eminent audio site a wealth of valves there to wet your appetite.good luck,gregory.
