Mr Richer does a very nice amp for this kind of thing, its the=20
Cambridge Audio P-500.  I'm sure someone on the list has about five=20

Unless you buy it with the accompanying preamp, as a C500/P550=20
bundle, in which case the price rises to... =A3119.95.

I've admitted defeat on most of my zones and gone mono (and back in=20
some ways to my roots) using an eBay sourced four zone background=20
music amp, which has all sorts of interesting terminals on it for=20
source selection and volume control...  Mono is fine for the=20
bathgroom, kitchen etc.
