Thinking about simplifying to an integrated amp
Thanks everyone.  I got hold of a used Accuphase E-4000 for a very good price.  Anyone want to buy some PS Audio gear?

The Accuphase sure has a lot of features on it that I'll never use.

@milpai  "An Accuphase integrated should set you for a couple of decades" LOL, at my age that might be all the time I have left  I hear Accuphase is on the warm and romantic side of things? Accurate description?

@mikhailark Thanks, but that's a class D "digital" amp, right? I've never liked the ones I've had in my system. Thought they sounded edgy and bright. @dhite71 I’s on the consider list. I believe DAC & Phono are optional which is fine since I ...

@jl35 I agree about the built in digital. Why pay for it if you aren’t going to use it? I haven't heard one that I was impressed with.

@dwest1023 Thanks. I'm wondering if 60 wpc would be enough? I'm sure my BHK 250 is just coasting along with these speakers.

@scthom Thanks, that's a brand I've heard of, but am not familiar with, but it appears to got the requirements.  
Am I done yet? LOL
@kennyc  Thanks. That's what I was after. Not familiar with that brand, maybe I'm missing out on something that I was unaware of, so now I can check into it. I like Magico a lot but can't afford them.

"You could start to believe me by calling GIK Acoustics or ATS and giving them your room measurements and asking them." Been there, done that.

@chrisoshea Best advice so far :-)

@goodlistening64 LOL The golden ratio is NOT a fixed size. Key word here is ratio.  https://www.acousticsfirst.com/dev/rrc.htm You are absolutely out of your mind if you think I'll have another wall put up to make my room smaller! That being said,...

@sudnh ? Yes I did, it's all listed in my system.   @kennyc Yes, audio is not unique. Many hobbies are like this.

The ceiling tiles ARE acoustical tiles, and I have additional absorption at the celing's 1st reflection point....it just wasn't in the picture.  I built this custom room from scratch, by my self. Yes, higher ceilings would have been nice, but this...

@goodlistening64  Just because I'll be using 2 large subs doesn't mean I also have to crank them up. It's about correcting the peaks and valleys in the bass response.  With the 888, that bass obviously is not adjustable other than by positioning...

@goodlistening64 Take a look at the picture in my profile. I know about treating a room. I've been doing this for around 50 years :-) I've already done the things you suggested as I've been working with this room for over 3 years.   On the side w...
