Hi all, and thanks in advance. I'm about to begin in starting up my stereo system. I'm a young civil engineer, so I'm not rolling in a lot of dough yet. I prefer to buy American made. I'm planing on getting the U-Turn Orbit Plus. But I'm debating on what Amp to get. I have someone offering me a mint Harman Kardon pm650 for $350, but I have also been recommend to get a brand new PS Audio Sprout, for about $460. The Harmon pm650 lacks bluetooth, but can handle 2 pairs of speakers. But I'm not sure if I can hook a subwoofer to it, if someone could clarify this I would appreciate it. Also, I kinda prefer the aesthetics to the pm650. The Sprout is new and highly praised for the price, and has bluetooth, which would be nice for pandora purposes. I hoping to buy very soon, so any input would be much appreciated. Again, Thank you. P.S. I should add that I'm starting out with a pair of Bose mini doubles and sub, that I got for free in mint condition. |

You're right, of course. I really shouldn't allow a few bad apples to color my perception. Thank you once again. |

....I found the sprout sounding muddy and muffled against similarly priced amps |
