High End HT
Al I am going to say is many people sure have different ideas as to what hi-end means. I feel that the system described is mid level. Certainly nooo where near hi-end. Thats it.

Whats the coolest sounding movie?

Using Behringer MX602A Mixer with a Hafler DH-200
I am not sure what type of input you are looking for. I don't know much about the Behringer so I can't help you there. I own 3 Hafler Dh200 amps I use for my Home Theater. I have tried them for music and it all depends on what you expect out of yo...

I also run the Magnum 88 , 99 combo. I am not sure about the non - magnum version but I will tell you this. If you upgrade to the 120. You won't have to take the friggen cover off of the amp to make any changes. And you also won't have the friggen...
