| Another Have you looked at the Pass Int-150?It's got the solid state punch to keep your Maggies nicely powered. The ARC DSI250 is another integrated to consider. It's class D solid state with plenty of power, but definitely audition first, b/c the house s... | |

| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store "Maybe we are leaning a bit too hard on this triviality."My intent was more about providing a diffuser to the other thread (hence the smiley).FWIW, I like how Frogman cites Microsoft as a source authority on English Grammar. :-DAlso, Almarg's comm... | |
| Good inexpensive temporary speakers Have you heard the updated B&W 685 ($700), or the NHT Classic 3 ($900) ?Both work well in the confined space of a condo, and neither puts out excessive bass (high neighbor approval factor). The updated tweeter in the 685 makes a world of diffe... | |

| Best DAC/preamp for under $2K? Have you looked at the McIntosh D100 Dac/Pre?Had the chance to audition one and it was very impressive.I'm not sure if it's worth the $2.5K list, but it was very nice.I recently went the other way, and picked up a ZDac on closeout for $300.00. Run... | |
