Greetings everyone:

I envision some major upgrades to my electronics set-up over the next year or so, following the purchase of a new pair of speakers. I am leaning toward purchasing a pair of PSB Platinum T6s in the near future. As far as major electronics upgrades go, at the moment I find the idea of a Musical Fidelity A 308 pre/Parasound Halo A 21 pairing rather attractive (both items are available from time to time on the used market, and at very reasonable prices). On the amp side of the equation, I might even extend my budget a bit and opt for a used pair of Parasound JC 1s if the price is right.

Does anyone have thoughts on the compatability of the Musical Fidelity pre-amp/ Parasound Halo amp combo? What other amp/pre-amp combos can you recommend for my prefered speakers (the T6s) while remaining within my anticipated budget range of $5-6K? Ideally I would purchase the amp/pre combo used. Do you think my hypothetical upgrades will work well with the PSB T6s?

BTW, here is my current set-up:

Aragon 28K Mk 2 pre-amp
Parasound A23 power amp
Epos ES 22 speakers
CEC 5100Z TL CD player (used as a dedicated transport)
Musical Fidelity X-DAC V3
Musical Fidelity X-10 v3 Tube Buffer
Rega 25 Turntable
Grado Statement Son. cart.
Grade phono stage
Kimber Cable Hereo Interconnects
PS Audio Ref. speaker cables (bi-wire version)
Salamander racks
Monster Cable line conditioner

Thanks for any suggestions.

Amandela.
