I would like to express my gratitude for you taking the time and effort to fill me in on all that info regarding the Klipsch RF-82s and a proper amp for them. I just have one question: considering I buy out an integrated amp, without a built-in DAC, would I absolutely need one to make the RFs sound nicely? How important is the DAC in a stereo chain? Could I just substitute the DAC with a hi-end external soundcard, and if so, could you point me to some suitable choices? Something about 200 USD, perhaps?

I'm not that tech-savvy - what would be the general advantage of the Outlaw receiver over the Music Hall integrated amp? Do I have to get a receiver with digital inputs as soon as I'm gonna hook it up to a PC? Doesn't the Music Hall amp have those sort of inputs? Dang, I'm a bit confused now. Does the Outlaw have digital input? By the way, I forgot to mention that I am from Bulgaria, and ordering any of the aforementioned would be a bit of a hassle. I just found out the Marantz PM7200, which is available at a local audio store in Sofia, where I live. Would it be fine for the Klipsch? It would really help a lot and save me some trouble.

Thank you, I think I'm gonna go for the Music Hall integrated ampie, it says it packs a 85 watt/channel, are you sure that's gonna be enough to power up the Klipsch? I mean, without a compromise in sound? And how would the hooking up to the PC go? What kind of cables should I use?

Great, I like your style - straight to the point. Budget's up to 700 USD. And thank you very much for taking the time and bearing with me!

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm not really into this whole audio stuff, I've just started reading and although I seem to know a few things, there is still a long way to go. Firstly, I was going for a pair of Cerwin Vegas, the VE-15 ones. Then I saw some great reviews of the RF-82s, and I thought - that's my thing. So I'm really not sure whether I want a receiver, an integrated amp or a power amp. I'm using the speakers at home, and I do not plan on using them for home theater, at least not in the foreseeable future. I want those speakers for an audiophile music listening only. The musical experience is what matters to me. I have heard that an amp would produce a finer and more accurate sound than a receiver. Is that true?

Greetings, guys! I'm currently in the process of thinking over pros and cons of the Klipsch RF-82s, and I'm definitely going for a pair of those in the very near time. Thing is, I just wanna have a few recommendations as to an amp/receiver that would properly fuel up these babies ( I mean, fuel them up in a way that they could shine in their full glory ). Anyone? Another thing. I'll be hooking them up to my PC ( amp first, of course ), are there any special considerations regarding proper cables or such?
