Thanks for your input, iPhone. I'm considering the C372, although my local friendly Denon dealer is busy trying to talk me into the AVR-1908 (http://usa.denon.com/ProductDetails/3635.asp). Whatever I do go (even if it is a receiver rather than an integrated amp) with will need to accomodate several sources in addition to the Squeezebox. A local shop has a demo of the C372 available for $899USD. Is that in line with what you would reasonably expect for a almost-NIB C372? iPhone;273138 Wrote: > > Another huge factor is knowing the efficiency of your DIY Speakers.

Can you explain? Or perhaps direct me to some good online sources? -- improvisato ------------------------------------------------------------------------ improvisato's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31843 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
