Thank you for the responses, most helpful. I have had my passive audio system for about 15 years, so I'm currently starting to upgrade components again. I have finally felt that things are worth upgrading. My system is an old pair of Missions 761's or my Totem Model 1's. My amp is a Classe Audio CA 100, which is bomb proof. I like this amp. As for a preamp, I have a old McCormack micro line drive preamp; it has passive and active drive. It's ok. My CD player is a Tascom and it sounds terrible mad . I had a NAD, but it broke.

Eventually, I'd like to get a surround sound processor as I'm also looking to get a projector and screen in the future. I know that Meridian is good for this type of thing, but I need to get my 2 channel up to scratch first.
