Amps I've looked at include so far ,the Marantz PM7001, Denon PMA1500,
Rotel 1062 (and maybe the 1072). ristish brand like Arcam, Cambridge and
Naim are a possibility but tend to be prett expensive here in OZ thanks to
the
exchnage rate and transport costs.

Have you rejected the above, and if so why? The PM 7001 is getting
rave reviews right now.

And Arcam integrated amps can sound surprisingly good if matched with the
'right' components. The '9' series integrated, together with the same series
CD player were way ahead of many far more expensive products last time I
listened to them (on my own speakers).
If I didn't need another audio system like a hole in the head, I might have
bought both of them.
