You *should* question it. Audiophiles are extraordinarily unreliable - just look at the total divergence of opinions on this and other fora. We can't possibly all be right, which means almost all of us are wrong... salespeople especially so - they have a vested interest in convincing you to buy expensive products, and that's certain to influence what they tell you. My advice - find some speakers you love, and then buy the cheapest amplifier you can find that's powerful enough to drive them. Buy cheap wires, and read this (unless you're looking for a new religion, in which case avoid it): http://sonido.uchile.cl/articulos/tenbiggestliesaudio.pdf -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32232 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
