wow.. i just read up on that xr55. It just seems like something I should have around... like electrical tape or a pair of vise grips. For the price it's cheaper than a used nad stereo cockrocker power amp, does most of the power section of it, and has enough stuff to be the feature player in some currently-unforseen mini-home-theater setup in the future. Hell it might even push me hook up some surround sound.. MAN.. here we go again... why can't i just do ANYTHING simple??? And all I have is a PC.. so why go 5.1 on a PC? Oh video games.. right.. so now I need to get into those again.. ok... if you insist.. here we go again... -- papyrus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ papyrus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4656 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22415 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
