I duck after recommending "BAND" equipment. Not only do the traditional makers (like Crown, etc.) have huge, responsive power supplies, they have headroom, rise-time, and output that shames most "home" amps. Additionally, they've been using XLR and signal-through features for years... Look for something rated 20-20K, even if you're looking and home equipment... amps rated at 1k are not bad but are not technically as effective. -- pski ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pski's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15574 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31843 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
