You could get a lot of different responses on whether or not to use a preamp. Search the forums for this, there are a lot of discussions. I can tell you that many people do not use a preamp and run directly from the squeezebox to the amplifier, but there have been rare instances of a 'white noise of death' which can be harmful to your equipment. Not a common thing, but again, I would read other posts in the forums. I am actually planning on doing the exact set up you proposed with the zAmp.
Speakers are very subjective. I would go and listen to as many as you can. Most places have in-walls on display, but the sound quality can vary greatly. Some in walls require a box built in to the wall, some have their own enclosures, etc. so it's difficult to say. -- jjazz ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jjazz's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5552 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33723 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
