In a few months I will be getting new speakers.... maybe Martin Logan XFT 100 or Bowers & Wilkins 800 D4Isn't a 6000$ amp overkill for that?

Yes, the ratio of speaker : amp price should be somewhat the other way around.Isn't a 6000$ amp overkill for that?
Do you expect a significant difference as a result of merely a change of amp? Or the speakers?In a few months I will be getting new speakers.... maybe Martin Logan XFT 100 or Bowers & Wilkins 800 D4

But then it can't be level matched because the poweramp gain on the 3200 can't adjustable. My suggestion is connect the source with RCA to the line in of both amps, with Pure Direct on the 2000.You need to connect rca out of 2000 pre to 3200 power (main). Upload pictures with the beasts and back connections!
The Yamaha r-n2000a is incredible. The construction is top notch.... I love how the loudness button can be adjusted. The streaming never gives me issues. The sound stage is really good. In many ways, I like the sound better on the 2000 than the 3200...that is why I use it as a preamp to the 3200.I don’t know if it sounds significantly better than an n803 (which I do own), but the n2000 is apparently Accuphase-grade in its construction, though probably not built by Keebler (or Tolkein) elves and definitely not priced that way.
If one isn’t averse to the silver version (I do like it), Amazon is currently offering that version at a $700 discount - $3399. I think I’m going to take it for a spin
I have the pre-out of the 2000a going into the 3200 line in with RCA cables. I tried pure direct before but I did not like it, because I loss that colored sound that I love that the 2000 has. I think it comes from the loudness knob.But then it can't be level matched because the poweramp gain on the 3200 can't adjustable.

You need to use main in on the 3200, as others have stated.I have the pre-out of the 2000a going into the 3200 line in with RCA cables. I tried pure direct before but I did not like it, because I loss that colored sound that I love that the 2000 has. I think it comes from the loudness knob.
Note: At times this setup will be to bright and I will just use the 2000a alone. It depends on the source. I think I can resolve the brightness from the 2 amps combined when I upgrade my Lumina II speakers to something maybe a little warmer.
What exactly is the diff between main in and line in since they are both rca?You need to use main in on the 3200, as others have stated.
Main in should bypass the preamplifier. Currently U are using 2 pre-amps in your setupWhat exactly is the diff between main in and line in since they are both rca?
This is why audiophiles need a dog to blame.LOL love the "differences" perceived in basically the same gear.
Ok, I just tried it in main. Very interesting sound... I will need to study more. Questions, please:You need to use main in on the 3200, as others have stated.
Because it bypasses the pre-amp. And turns it basically into a Poweramp.Ok, I just tried it in main. Very interesting sound... I will need to study more. Questions, please:
1) The volume knob has no effect on the volume on the AS-3200 with the main in. Why is this?
2) How much volume is the AS-3200 applying (I assume a fixed volume?) with the main in?
