| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? Jaybo - you better duck because I think your going to get blasted for mentioning Bose in this thread. :O | |

(1) Good equipment will sound good at any volume, and you don't need a big amplifier to power your bookshelf speakers, however I would still recommend going with the balanced (XLR)interconnect option. (2) Depending on which amplifier was compared ... | |
| Best integrated for rock music under $1,500? I agree on the great sound of NAD but also agree with the build quality issue. I also agree with going to Sansui - a few of their high-end integrates are quite powerful and have almost tubelike sound with lots of bottom end too so they can power m... |
