Would like to hear how you guys like your Zamps... I'm looking for something nice to use with my sb2 and B&W in-wall speakers in my bedroom. How would the Zamp compare to the Super T-Amp? -- jmourik jmourik's Profile: http

I can confirm that the Parasound Zamp works nicely with my new Squeezebox. No pre-amp used or needed for my particular application. The auto on also works to perfection. I did not even have to fiddle with the setting on the back of the Zamp. Just set it to Auto On, move the Sensitivity knob to

Am doing a mini kitchen/dining room remodel and will be pairing a new SB (yes, black...very nice) with a Parasound Zamp. Here is a softball question: am I correct that I need no more pre-amp than that supplied in the SB? Second question: does anyone have an in-wall speaker suggestion? I've l
