I think every "combo" producer call their combo's that way. They do not always price it that cheap though.  

Hi Jason, My idea for an end-game preamp would be an active stereo preamp AND monitor controller to put between the sources and the monitors (or power amp), but also between the sources and the headphone amp(s) featuring: A) Multiple FIXED-volume line-level outs that would just connect...

In the end I think I will find myself spending 100 extra €uros for a pair of Momentum. Well, they do look cool, and are also mic'ed!!! I still hope not to have to though. I don't spend that kind of money in stuff I throw around and that carry in a bag with lots of other stuff etc.

I do own a CD collection and keep buying them, but I also do rip them...!

Wait... You use a CD player?

Count me in count me in!!!! (Is this enough or do I have to sign anywhere?) I'll be coming straight from Venice, so I don't think I'll be able to bring much stuff. My music for sure.
