A good sub may cost as much as the MMG's. It will be worth the wait.
After that we can discuss a good integrated or a preamp, power amp combo.!!!!!
Your current integrated will do for now but MMG's like all Maggy's, only come to life with plenty of power.

BTW: It may take as long as 30 days to break in a pair of new Maggy's.
I am going to be moving from a 600 sq. ft. apartment Into a 1200 Sq ft one In february and wont be buying much more furniture so space will not be an issue.

I was looking at a Marantz Int. Amp a little while ago for $450 that can handle a 4ohm load. Does marantz still make a decent budget system??
