This system doubles as my castoff/auditioning system. The 8SE was replaced in my main system by an FMJ23. The M3A was supposed to go in my main system, but I've kept it here b/c I prefer a remote-operated preamp for my main system. (I've had the M3A only for about a week; it sounds better with digital than my Marsh line stage, and about the same on vinyl as my Acoustech PH-1.)

Haven't yet bought the HCA-2, currently looking on this site for one at the right price.

Speakers are next. I'm looking for almost full-range used speakers priced at or below $1500. I am leaning towards one of the VMPS RMs; but any suggestions, bearing in mind the rest of the components, would be appreciated. Also check out my main system under "Chidi's 2C Main System". Thanks for looking.
