Sub for Proac Response 1Ss
NHT units have mated well with my 1Sc's. I use dual subs with separate NHT power amps. 
Best way to ship heavy speakers to Norway.

The "great" sound of reel to reel explained

Replacing Nano with iPod for Best Sound
Why not try Sansa Clip. For about $50 you can get 40gb. Its electronics are far superior to any 'i' and battery life can run 15 hours. Since the Clip does not do video, it can last longer. 
Cayin integrated amp and power conditioner
