Well, looks like another child will be on our horizon, not yet, starting the process of "trying" (love that). Seeing how I took over the 3rd bedroom for my office that houses my collection and playback gear, it looks like I will need to shrink down my system to go into the den, the WAF for my ASL aq1001dt is low and I would ideally want something that could be used as audio playback and to run the tv through. I love the tube sound and would like to continue to use tubes if possible, as long as they don't have "those light bulbs sticking out the top". I want something versatile enough to do both and prefer an integrated and my main focus is on audio playback but I guess I should look at something that can do surround as well. Am I asking too much? Budget is around $1000 or so, suggestions?
