| any decent powered speakers? You're not being long-winded. I am interested in doing something similar at some point. I have a dedicated listening room and a dedicated home theatre room, but I also like to have background music in the rest of the house. I have much of my music... | |
| any decent powered speakers? By far, the best sounding powered speaker I've ever heard is the Mackie HR824 Powered Studio Monitor. Ran across them in several studios --they are both incredibly accurate and incredibly musical. They are actuallybi-amped! They are bookshelf type... | |

| What Choice for Nautilus 802 I've heard the 2102 -- sounded great. Here's a suggestion: If I were you, I would consider buying two of them and using them as 200 watt monoblocks. The N802's will need some major juice to get them singingand the 2102's used as monos would do the... | |
| What are the Do's & Donts on Hi Fi components Leave all you stuff on all the time -- sounds better. I've also heard that turning the stuff off and on causes more wear and tear than leaving it on all the time. | |
| Surround music ? Also -- I have been in bands -- and that experience confirms *FOR ME* -- that the listening position ON THE STAGE is absolutely inferior. So, having been in a band would certainly not convince ME to try to recreate that position in MY listening ro... | |
