Don't know if your 'dealer down the road' is Grahams, but they do B&W as well as Linn and the Gallo stuff. KEF and Sonance products are generally well thought of too. IIRC the Gallo stuff is quite expensive.
I built some dedicated SqueezeBox amps for an installation I did http://www.at-view.co.uk/installations.htm. They're 'chipamp' based, single input; with no controls to play with, and they can be hidden away fairly easily (even in the ceiling I reckon). I could do one for about £150 depending on the case it goes in. There's a lid off photo here: http://www.at-view.co.uk/components.htm. I've actually used one to drive a pair of Isobariks, and it works really (surprisingly) well! -- Patrick Dixon www.at-view.co.uk _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
