---- That is a very sweet looking 'Ferrari' system you have there John.
Thanks Bob! I've had that monitor for over 6 years now, but unfortunately its starting to give me some problems. It's been the best monitor I've ever owned so far and I'll be sad when I have to depart with her.
John they appear to measure well.http://www.google.com/search?q=Behr...GuMIza9ASu4YGgDQ&ved=0CFAQsAQ&biw=940&bih=643

That's good to know, because I wouldn't know how to decipher one. I don't use my PC setup for critical listening, but I must say it does give me a lot pleasure. And it's great because it's in my kitchen and I do a lot of cooking, so it is serving me well!

A plug for some speakers developed by a couple of friends:

Quite amazing with accurate, deep bass. They demo'ed to the PNWAS club members, and we were all in awe of what these little things could do.

Nice!
A few years back I had a HK 2-channel Integrated (forget the model #) with a pair of Totem Mites hooked up to my PC. The Mites are an amazing little speaker. About $600 now I think for the pair.
Of course any one Assembling an entry leve system should consider the Benchmark dac. These guys claim special pricing. http://www.benchmarkmedia.com/dac/d..._medium=banner&utm_campaign=DAC1HDR-1595PRICE
Only WBF would have recommendations like ProAc and Benchmark for an entry level system! This is pretty specialist stuff already anywhere else.
You might want to give your friends some feedback that their website is misleading about whether these speakers support wireless.
On the title of the paragraph they say 'Direct And Wireless Connections'
But then when you read the small print it says you need an external wireless adaptor, presumably this connects through the direct connections already mentioned. So in reality there's no 'and wireless' - just direct connections.
Is that a passive radiator on the rear? Not many speakers have those these days.

I've seen them in action and they do have wireless capability. I think what they mean is you need a wireless router to provide a wireless signal. Sounds like the fine print needs to be more clear.
Indeed it is very unclear - they say:
Wireless streaming is supported through your choice of external adapter, so that as wireless standards change, your speakers won’t have to.
This makes a lot of sense as an argument for an external one, but how can the speakers be independent of wireless standards AND have an in-built wireless capability?
