| Please recommend preamp If you decide on replacing your amp, you might consider looking into an integrated amplifier. At the price points under consideration here, you would be likely to get a greater return on investment. | |
| Need small size speakers for fireplace. geofflait, Yes, I will have speakers pecan out from fireplace sides and pecan wood shedding light on the subject. celtic66, I will check out the Role Audio speakers, never heard of that make. I will be using a subwoofer. I was a nut for not maki... | |
| DAC vs. Preamp Congrats on you pre and DAC. | |
| Need small size speakers for fireplace. Guess I forgot to mention that the speakers would not go into the fireplace proper but into compartments made for them on either side, hence the restriction on size. I do think if I were to burn speakers as apposed to money on them, ash would be p... | |
| DAC vs. Preamp If you have heard the Triton 1s and like them, go with them. Their woofers are active so your power requirement is for the mid/upper registers only. You are still looking for a Pre and DAC? | |
