UMtiger: The must is the 990, is cheap, good quality, I got one even with the expensive shipping where I live, and still is a good choice.

On amps, you will not go wrong with any OUTLAW or NAD. NAD I think would be again my choice but it is a little more expensive than OUTLAW. NAD is 140 wpc X 7 and 200 wpc in stereo, if you really don't need 200wpc X 7 (OUTLAW) go with NAD. I take a test with the NAD and a pair of Paradigm Studio 100 and this amp really have more power than you will need, I like high volume and thats all the power you will ever need.

My issue was the expensive shipping of OUTLAW, if you can pay the NAD pay it, if money is an issue the OUTLAW is the one. I am very happy with my 990/T973 and I am sure you will be too. I Have a NAD service dealer near my home and that for me is important.
