[is this the line that supposedly gets eaten?  is the monster asleep?]

   I have been looking to buy a receiver and a pair of speakers, with
a total of about $500 as my target price range.  I have thus been
avidly following all related postings on the net, but have not heard
any specifics on the units I am considering.  

  I've pretty much decided on the Yamaha R-3 receiver, which I saw for
about $230.  As for speakers, I was pleased with the Boston A-60s for
$200 and the new Linn Index for $300.  I also liked the Cerwin-Vega
CF-2 (I think that was the number) for $200 at a different (cheaper, I
think) dealer.  

  My final decision will obviously depend on how it all sounds
together, but I'd appreciate hearing about any  comments people have
about the performance of these particular components and/or the
prices that I've been quoted for them.  (Or any better suggestions.)
Thanx loads.
