| Low-end Question (btw - I did consider just getting a simple DVD player with RCA stereo outs, but I already have this one so want to put it to use) | |
| Low-end Question Thanks guys.The HT receiver came with some speakers (5.1 set) I can use; was just trying to avoid them due to space constraints, but it sounds like that's not an option. I don't think there's any audio/tape/aux out on the HT system; it's a very si... | |
| Small speakers for retail store Thanks for all the great recommendations so far! Much appreciated. | |
| Neat cheap amp suggestions . Help me have fun. Sonic Impact Super-T ($139 at thinkgeek.com).I use one in my BR system and think it sounds great. | |
| Amphion argon , helium speakers I have a set of Argon's and like them quit a bit. Have never compared them to the Cobalts. | |
| Best bookshelf speaker under $700 used Consider Amphion Heliums. | |
| Stereophile review of the T-Amp I use the Super-T with a Squeezebox and Arro's in my bedroom and I think the setup sounds fantastic. | |
| Totem Arros - Tube Amps ? Well, here's a different take....I have a pair of Arro's in the bedroom (about 16x18 or so), and since I wasn't sure I was going to be keeping the Arro's on a lark I picked up a Sonic Impact Super-T.I don't have anything to compare to with these s... | |

| Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music Any thoughts on going with something like the Outlaw 1070 and a decent 2-channel integrated in the $800 range or so (eg Creek 5350se)?Seems to me a way to get very nice setups for both worlds, but not something I've done before and still don't ent... | |
| Strategy and Components Advice Needed So, the 2-channel integrated amp would of course need to have sub pre-outs? if it doesn't have those, I assume using a sub with 2 channel music is then out of the picture... (is that a big deal, what do folks normally do in this situation)?(sorry ... | |
| Strategy and Components Advice Needed Thanks Kal.With HT pass-thru, is it still possible to use an integrated for the HT (I'm assuming "no")?Also, what outputs from the integrated stereo amp would I connect to the sub L/R inputs?Sorry for the newb questions, I'm getting there...I shou... | |
| After ripping with EAC, what? +1 on the Squeezebox... great solution.As said, FLAC provides tags (wav doesn't), so FLAC imo is friendlier, not to mention the benefits of (lossless) compression.You can use a combination of folder structure and tags to organize your music. I use... |
