I prefer Shure headphones personally. Very good headphones.

So you have people in your house that go around pulling on speaker wire and knocking your equipment around? Odd...

Unless they have a huge diameter it shouldn't be a big problem. Obviously metal to metal running a current touching causes a short, but the chance of it happening if they are securely fastened to the jacks is minimal. Or you get daily earthquakes that rattle the connectors loose lol

Wuzzer, thanks for the link as well! This site seems pretty legit.

I was stumbling around the internet and I found a mod for the iPod done by Red Wine Audio. I thought it looked like a cool idea though a tad pricey. The link is http://redwineaudio.com/products/imod. It is supposed to improve the sound emitted from the ipod. Whattau think?

I am looking at buying a few parts to add on to my current speakers and I have heard a lot of good things about Sunfire. Suggestions? They are nearly identical in price.

Ahh, I see. Yea, I may go ahead and get one just for my fronts. Any suggestions? A lot of people highly reccommend McIntosh amps that I have talked to.

Right. I understand what you're saying. I am almost positive the 1709 has a built in amplifier. I believe I am going to have to buy an amp because I have a large area I need to fill and I like having my movies and music playing at decent levels. You wrote earlier that the Rf-5s can handle at least 500W max input. What did you mean bu that?

Ok, your post seems to have cleared things up for me, but let me get this straight. The amplifier provides extra power to the receiver to aid in the increasing demand for power as the volume increases. Because of this added power it reduces "clipping" in the sound and possible damage to the speakers. Amplifiers do not provide direct power to the speakers only to the receiver. The receiver is what provides power to the speaker so 80W per channel is what you get period. And in order to increase the wattage applied to the speakers you must upgrade receivers. Am I on the right track? I must admit, 80W provided by my Denon makes the RF-5's SUPER loud.

Well at the moment I have the Denon 1709 Receiver which has 80W per channel. It works ok and I was thinking of getting an amp to help out but I obviously don't want to blow out my speakers.

Ok, I am a bit new to this and I am probably sure this question has been asked in some format. I have a pair of RF-5's and The max input on them is 150 W. Now the question is: how does one do this? For instance most receivers have a rating of around 100W per channel and the McIntosh amps that are more than 2 channels put out about 200W per channel. Can someone fill me in?
