For that price I'd consider Focal 816v speakers, but here's my main advice.Narrow your search to two or three speakers that you like the sound of and then give her the final choice.

| What is the best compressed iTunes format? I just did a one song comparison of Apple Lossless, 128 AAC, and 192 MP3 and can't say that with my headphones that there is a significant enough difference to not just go with the AAC format that iTunes will do automatically. There is a small dif... | |

| what are some lossless bluray titles? I would expect that all of them would be lossless, but the final quality can still vary. I don't know why anyone would go to the trouble of putting lossy stuff on blu-ray unless it was previously available on DVD. Look for recent recordings.www.bl... | |
| Can a new DAC help me? An HDMI cable is required to handle digital TrueHD lossless signal. The other option is to have the blu-ray player output the signal in individual analog channels (i.e. 8 individual cables for 7.1). | |
| What is the best compressed iTunes format? Mezmo,If I were planning to rip everything again from scratch I'd probably take your advice. I don't do anything, at this point, on my main system outside of my CD player so having the lossless files isn't an issue right now. I'm just planning to ... | |
| What is the best compressed iTunes format? I think what I'm going to do is rip all of my audiophile CDs in Apple Lossless and the in the same MP3 format that I've previously ripped the rest of my CDs. I may need to upgrade the quality of a few CDs. | |
