| Audioengine 2's vs. Bose Dock for cube farm audio I use the AE2 as TV speakers in my mid-size living room. They are a wonder, especially at low volumes. My son thought I was using my Von Schweikert VR5 HSE's when the TV was on!neal | |

| Wadia 171i Digital Transport Sound Issues I use the i170 with a 160gb iPod Classic, and find it very sensitive to PC and digicable. With a Kharma Grand ref digicable (which I had lying around) and a Nordost Brahma PC connected to an adaptor for the Wadia electrical input, I get very near ... |
