    The Age Old Debate On AK. Spend Money On Speakers Or Spend Money On Upstream Electronics.

    Clearly speakers will be the winner. If you look at the market now virtually, no one wants 17 inch boxes and large speakers the vast majority of speakers now sold range from cheap desktop.

    Help me improve my streaming experience. Calling the Pros.

    Wiim is a good way to experiment since you already have Amazon HD. The best signal an iPhone can transmit is 16/44 which is CD quality. With the whim, you can directly stream using your iPhone as the controller the way you have been doing. In this case, the streaming is direct and you can...
