At that low budget level, the Panasonic digital receivers are well regarded, as are Athena speakers.
You would run the digital output directly into the Panny receiver, as they're known for sounding best with digital input. Example model: XR55S -Dan please visit sites such as www.audiocircle.com and www.audioasylum.com for endless reading on other folk's opinions of what sounds best at a particular budget level. The good news is that the SB sounds great, and will be ready for you as your budget grows and your other stereo components get better. -- dwc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dwc's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1892 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18704 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
