| Speaker recommendation for use with a Mac ma6600 I can't imagine your amp not being able to drive the Revels. But if that's the case, maybe look at a pair of Vandersteen Model 2's. I like them much better than the Revels. I put the Model 1's next to some Revels that cost about 2x's what the 1's ... | |

It's not currently in use, but I have a CJ Premier 18 that I really like. It sounds better than the 12 in every way. The diffe... | |

Sample rate conversion of all inputs, which are re-clocked, re-timed and up-sampled. You can spend $500 for the new ZDAC2 or $5,000 for PS Xtreme... | |
| Should I finish my basement It would probably be a good idea to try your system in the room as it is. It may sound good, and if not, you'll at least have a reference to compare any changes you make. | |
| Why are there no botique car audio recievers? If you are going to use something like an iPod for a source, you don't need to buy a head unit. You can plug it directly into an amp or crossover and use the iPods volume control. | |
