Thanks RedsinpA. Looks like i wil go for my friends Alon II Mk2 as they are true Audiophile speakers whith a 87db sensitivity. In my listening area, part of a larger room, I should be able to power them up without worry. I am also hoping to one day use a powered Sub, HSU stf-2 or Vtf-2 so that should free up some extra kick. Also, I plan on getting a 3930ci Denon dVD player and having it modified with a discrete output stage that I am told can drive a set of headphones!
