The calculus will probably get even harder if all you need is a DAC and the $350 amp-less Pico makes it to market.

Speaking of which, another good option on the Internet-direct side might be the Ascend Sierra-1. Strong low end for a monitor speaker and those guys take their stats seriously!

Oh, and for what it's worth, here's a recent review of the tower version of those Aperions, which uses the same drivers.

You could certainly do worse than a pair of Aperion 6Bs for $700. I have a bunch of their stuff in my HT and it's very good for the money. Plus they have the best return policy in the business. You can listen to the speakers in your own room for 30 days and if you don't like them in the end it won't cost you a dime. They'll give you a full refund and pay shipping both ways.

Must be a Nano.

Also happy to see more love for Webkit. Let's just hope Chrome for Windows is a better implementation than Safari for Windows.

It's true. Listen at 113dB for a few weeks and you will hear no veil, guaranteed.

Oh God, no.

Well, where do you think they get their stock in the first place?

I steal them in Home Depot parking lots.

Fuck that. I do 800 calories in liquid bread alone.

It's only four fifths an ass-orgy, unless you don't want to have to look at Alison.

I like what you've done with your living room.

QFT. Two is puh-lenty, thank you very much.

Congrats Pete! Sorry about your sleep schedule!

They're doing one of each instead. BDP-S5000ES Seems to be the trend. Pioneer have a new uber-BR player with a ridiculous analog section that is not going to do SACD or DVD-A either.

Heat issues, pfffft. Moar tubes! Moar power!

Each to his own, mate.

Arthur "Two Drivers" Forty. Get yer own headphone brand, ya fairy!

Why not just do uncompressed PCM on Blu-ray and leave it at that? BD-A FTW!

I wish. Have a GS-1 on order, but it will be a few weeks yet.

I'm loving vocals on the 600s. Maybe I actually like things a touch less syrupy? Maybe it's just new gear syndrome? Maybe I'm lit? Phucknose.
