Nuforce 9.02s powering Maggies?

Hmmm.....interesting thread. Most of our customers own Maggies.

Oh, well.....whatever.

Which supports my belief that many consumers believe the most important component in a system are speakers.

It's not?

It all begins at the front end.If I may draw an analogy.You
shoot a photo with an inferior camera,you get a grainy picture,you enlarge it,looks even worse,and then you place it in an expensive frame.You've still got the blurred picture,correct.
Unless you have a musically accurate source it doesn't matter what dollars you spend downstream.

True, but the variability between sources (applies to amplifiers too) is far, far less than between speakers and how they relate to your room. Imagine you put together two identical systems. Then, you make a substitution for the CD player in one of them. You'll hear a difference. Reset. Then substitute the speakers in one of the systems. In most cases, I think the differences you will hear will be far greater and more musically important than with the CD swap. Of course, YMMV.
