Not sure how I missed this one before, but here's what I'm looking at real hard. Marantz PM7001 Integrated Amp:

I'll give a listen to it at a local store (Marantz is covered pretty well in this area), hopefully they'll have some Klipsch in store as well.

So what are going to be the major differences between the Marantz and JoLida? Vincent? What additions are available to set up a HT using the 7001 (or the others) with the mains and sub? A mutli-channel power amp could be used with this integrated to add the rest of the channels, right?
