| Dream speakers and amp for an 11x14 room? The thread listed below gives some ideas for more conventional front-firing, front-ported speakers as alternative to some of those already listed here. I think these would be more amenable to placement nearer the rear wall and adjacent to open pas... | |

| Cambridge 840C Azur through a Bryston BDA-1 DAC? I would get the best power cord I could afford now for the Cambridge and think about using it as your DAC when you eventually add a server.
