+1 Yep speakers first and then an amp that t can drive them . The amp choosing gets simpler then , if it can drive your speakers to good sound quality and have all the inputs and connectivity you need then it's your amp . It may be a traditional 2ch amp if you only got mostly analogue 2ch sources and don't have any center or surround speakers , If movies and a lot of hdmi equipped stuff is around then a HT receiver will be closer to the mark . A mistake one commonly makes is to go for amps with not enough inputs and other connectivity and options , how many times havent you heard friends complain that they run out of spdiff inputs on their HT amp ? (they cheaped out to save some 0.01$ and it comes back to bite them ) If it can separate pre and power stage even better . So speakers and source componets will narrow the choices . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96780
