    Bluetooth DAC

    Going to drop some speakers into a small workout room. Just using stuff I have lying around Polk S15's and Aiyima A07. The goal is to let people drive the system with their phone.

    What do you think about Revel Concerta2 M16?

    Crutchfield has them for $356/each and I was considering them as L/R/C in a new HT build (50% music). I am unsure about center use and could use some advice. Thanks

    SUB Quandry

    I live in an apartment. In my first go round of building out a home theater system (x1500, HTD lvl2 l/r/c, sscs5 surrounds) I went with a Dayton SUB-1500.
