I now have my stupidly enourmous budget of $1400 (up from $400) :eek: for a new 2 channel system. I'm currently running around like a kid in a candy shop with a thousand ideas and not knowing what to go with. Hong Kong and UK avenues have fallen through. I kind of want something unique which definitely doesn't help much :o.

I saw there was a virtue One.2 on trademe. They seem to be pretty good but I'm just not sure what DAC to pair it with? Maybe a DACit or something similar? Another option I was looking at was buying a refurb Decco from overseas as it would give me a nice simple all-in-one box for cheap. The only thing I have found that was a true budget piece was the kingrex T20u but I haven't managed to figure out what it can actually drive as it's only rated at a lowly 12w/per channel?

musical interests go from Wolf Larsen (http://wolflarsen.bandcamp.com/track/kitchen-door) through Marah in the Mainsail (http://marahinthemainsail.bandcamp.com/track/criminal) and Jack & the Bear (http://jackandthebear.bandcamp.com/album/jack-the-bear-ep) to Jeff Pianki (http://jeffpianki.bandcamp.com/album/paper-window) with a few weird pieces here and there.

my heads exploding and my money is burning a whole through the world :( help meeee!!!
