Hi Rick

Firstly, sorry to read about your father. Sincere condolences to you and your family.

The Audiolab processor looks interesting, but could you perhaps give some insight into system matching? What's the best speakers, power amp (particularly if someone is a mix 'n' matcher). Any info could be useful to these readers.

Cheers, PP.

Hi plastic penguin

Thank you.

I've found Audiolab's 8200AP AV processor to be easy going as the 8200AP works well with power amps from Krell, Audiolab, Plinius, ATC, Naim, Cyrus, NAD, Primare and with speakers from ATC, Monitor Audio, Mission, Proac, Acoustic Energy.

All the best

Rick.
