Thanks TvadSoon as I can get around to actually using one first... 'IF' I can use one that is... I sure will. I hope I can. A screen reader is a big plus and near necessity for me. For only short periods can I just visualize text without things go...

Thanks folks... though perhaps I wasn't too clear. I 'have' to use a wireless PC notebook, FOR TWO REASONS... So I CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHAT i'M DOING WHILE ACCESSING TRACKS. Slimdevices, and clock radio sized visual interfaces simply won't do it for ...

Is Bi - amping worth the trouble?
sean...from experience. the signal loss may well be less than -3db occassionally... but as a rule of thumb, it's a safe bet to figure on -3db.... and as I said, "... in cable installations" ... referring to loss, and equating it to degredation... ... 
Is Bi - amping worth the trouble?
