Also the Mac is already setup for streaming, and most of the CDs I own are on the hard drive. Surprised to see zero votes for this option. Why? Because your Mac is very noisy and a poor source for streaming, and even a budget streamer will soun...

Watched the video.  Her total raging bitch of a mom seemed to have effed her up good.  So sad.   
Cables for JBL L-112
What’s your budget, how long do they need to be, what connectors are you looking for, and are you open to used cables?

What’s your budget, and are you open to buying used?

I'm more concerned with my question about the NAD and only having a L/ R preout and keeping both amps and the subwoofer in play... So the splitter will allow you to use the single pair of RCA outs from the NAD as three separate outputs you can ... 
BAT pre + ARC power
Totally depends on what sound characteristics you’re looking for.  How much is the BAT pre going for?

Use a splitter like the one I linked above.    
Subs?
Subwoofers are still very difficult to integrate in a true HEA system. HT fans are less about seamless integration but praise the sound of jet engines/explosions and even dinosaurs walking through a jungle, not music to my ears! Dealers/sellers w...

What irks most Canadians is that it was Trump who signed the last free trade deal with Canada and Mexico and the next review is set for 2026. I think this bears emphasis.  Trump said whoever made the trade deal made a very bad deal when in fact...

If you’re only using the two speakers you don’t need or want the Pioneer involved at all.  Using a splitter isn’t optimal, but in this case you’re probably much better off using one with the NAD and something like this might work (also sold throug... 
SPEAKERS THAT SOUND ALIVE & DYNAMIC AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
I’d take a look at Volti speakers and maybe Audiokinesis.  Best of luck.

It’s a Swiss Army knife product with a decent DAC from what I can see.  I can’t tell what kind of power supply it uses, which along with its price means it’s probably not a LPS and also sports a low-rent, two prong A/C plug socket neither of which...
