- You could save a bit of money here by going to the GTP-400.
- You'll lose the remote, however. (And multi-room capability.)

-
- This is a nice little amp. Parasound makes a 50wpc amp that
- is comparable in price and quality, the HCA-500. Many people think
- that Parasound equipment offers a superior value to Adcom.
-
- > CD Player (Adcom GCD 575)
-
- You could probably get by with a less expensive player
- from somebody like Denon if you needed to save money.

- > Speakers (Mirage 460)
-
- I have never heard the mirages, so I can't give you any input.
- I feel that Polk Audio and Boston Acoustics offer superior lines of
- inexpensive speakers, however.

-
- Getting comments from others is fine, but don't hesitate to
- trust your own ears. After all, you are the one who is going to be
- listening to the system.
