Archimago ..awesome speakers and amps. I am sure they load your room and you need treatments/equalization, probably you dont even need subwoofers. In your case, I suggest equalization on the server side. I am afraid, Behringer may not be up to the spec of the Transporter. When I had a SRC2496, it seemed to 'soften' up the sound. BTW, I worked in Waterloo, Ontario for little more than a year (during the early days of the Blackberry). Canadian speaker manufacturers are benefitting from a very nice state-run lab, I think, for anechoic testing. I started in this hobby with PSB speakers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SoftwireEngineer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7000 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
