I agree with all this. I have very inexpensive amp/speaker combination - Rotel RC-870BX Pre and RB-850 Power, both bought from ebay) and a pair of B&W DM610 speakers that I bought new in 1989 with my student grant cheque! This combination is sufficiently powerful enough and transparent for me to enjoy my Transporter through it. The only possible upgrade I would consider is a pair of powered professional monitors, and that's more for the compactness and convenience than anything else.
