As one example of a company that makes incredibly good components that
won't cost you your house, may I suggest NAD?

They've been around for a little over 10 years, and produce some of the
best hifi components I've seen around.  One example, the integrated amp
I just bought:

	NAD 3100 integrated amp
	50 WPC @ 0.03% THD
	6 dB dynamic headroom ( = 200 WPC )
	bridgeable to mono, 100 WPC, 500 W with headroom.

I forget the specs on the preamp part of it (there's lots), but you get
the idea.  Plus, I picked it up for only $600 CDN.  I'm happy.

One more tidbit about NAD:  In '87 or so, their 3020 integrated amp
became the most popular amp in history:  600 000 units sold, and it's
still in production.  Well, that's my advertising blurb for today.
