I agree that powered pro monitors should be considered. I have a big rig with about 8K list price speaker/amps and my Dynaudio powered monitor rig in another room comes very close overall and surpasses in some ways at a much lower price.

Other equipment needed in "the system" - pete1 09:19:34 02/05/13 (2)
Hey Michael. The Event demo was so compelling that I am planning to use active monitors in a new 2-ch system for music playback enjoyment, not to mix or record. As I am new to pro audio gears, I am not sure where to begin or how to assemble a system. In my limited knowledge on the subject matter, I am contemplating the following 2 options, but I am not sure if there are other alternatives that I want to consider. Also, which monitors and subwoofers blend well together?

Option 1:
Laptop for source.
A mixer.
A pair of biamped monitors.
A subwoofer.
Con: No remote control capability (that I know of).

Option 2:
CD player for source, "audiophile" grade.
Pre-amp, "audiophile" grade.
A pair of biamped monitors.
A subwoofer.
Pro: System can be remote controlled.

  I'm considering another option for my Dynaudio powered monitor system. I'd like to add a sub without the added expense of a "worthy" preamp. The Oppo 105 has a volume control on its remote. With outputs for main channels and sub, the 105 may be a cost effective solution to having a remote control AND a sub woofer channel neither of which are available with the preamp I'm using which is pretty bare bones.

  Option 3:
  
  Mac mini & remote
  
  DAC
  
  Pre-amp with XLR outputs
  
  active monitors
  
  subwoofer
