If you like Mac gear then why start there...  We all know that your weakest link are your speakers.  It is known that Mac and Sonus go hand in hand, this is why they are paired quite a bit.  I say get the right speakers for your gear and save your...

I think Classe audio is back in business. Sound United took the Classe line from B&W and according to all my research they are very good for both. They attended the Munich audio show just this past year to introduce their new Delta line. Class...

raw33,If you decide on the KEF’s, I recommend using electronics that are on the warm side such as Mcintosh, Pass Labs, etc.  These speakers can be a bit bright at times and create listening fatigue, but they are great for home theatre in my opinio...
