I'm assuming you already did your homework, listened to bunch of setups and this is what you like the best. In that case, no comment. Just make sure you use some hardware attenuation. If you didn't ... well, for the kind of money you intend to spend, I'd plan on two months of extensive audioning. And if you are going to do that, make sure you check out planar speakers. -- slimkid The sound stage will open up, bass will tighten and the imaging will improve. DVD performance will also increase substantially. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35766 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
