I really like my ADA. It is combined with a Anthem Statement D2v a pre/pro. The extra power in my new house is currently mostly unused as the ambient noise in my HT room is so low that I can play the system half as loud and feel the dynamics just as much. (ex: the end of Mahler's 6th was measuring 106db in my old appartment, now it is 96db). Less vibration, but I'd rather trade some "loudness feelings" for the extended hours of listening without destroying my hearing.

Tom, the airplay setup is like this: I have 2 older AirPort Express (the small ones), one in my Living Room and the other one in the Salon. I also have an Apple TV to watch Netflix in the bathroom; now with the M2s, I will likely also use it for music and extend my baths quite a bit! I also use my main computer as "AirPlay" server using AirFoil Speakers. From there, I can either use the built-in audio drivers which output to the Audiobytes or to an M-Audio USB driver which is wired to the Home Theater. COMING THIS WEEK: I need to get two small receivers with dual speakers sets and I am planning to get either Denon or Pioneer ones as they have built-in AirPlay. The part above is traditional AirPlay/AirTunes. Now, the bridge beetween SqueezeBox and AirPlay is currently achieved using AirFoil. It is an AirPlay client than can capture an application's audio (or the entire system if you need to) and send it to AirPlay servers (speakers). I am using SoftSqueeze player to playback my SB database. That way, I can use my Squeebox Duet remote when I am listening to some music in the Salon in front of a fire and with a great Belgium beer in my hands! I am currently (and very slowly) writing my own AirPlay client (audio only) that will also act as Squeeze player. That way, each AirPlay device in the house will appear as a player or, depending on programmable mode, a single player with optional output (easier to manage single playlist). I hope this answered your question, Tom!

I love how skewed this thread has gotten. People including speakers that they no longer own, other equipment (amps, stands, brackets, etc) or even like me, speakers that I never owned, but helped to purchase for a friend. If we are including that stuff, then I should tell people that I own basically 10 houses. 1 now, 4 previous, plus 2 decks I built, 2 monster sized playsets, and a tree that I planted in one of the yards... LOL Yeah, I'm being a smart-arse.

I love how skewed this thread has gotten. If you read the original post, it started out that way.

Personally, I just think that this thread is fun (funny) as people poster themselves (or try to) as King of the Hill. I like humor, so that is in no way meant to be an insult to anyway. Heck, I jumped in.

Very good, Eric; and I'll also suggest Brian for an Honorable Mention for his win in the Most Axioms on One Wall category.
Yes, with a listening room having a low background noise level, even the highest peaks on dynamic material such as the Mahler 6th can be fully(and safely)appreciated at a maximum dB level in the high 90s. No need to "crank it", and I never do.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Heck, I jumped in. Oh, no worries. I wasn't offended. I know how ridiculous the amount of money I've spent is. But it's fun, and I like continuing to cycle through my stuff. I forgot about the pair of QS8s I sold to Ken.
