Don't start a war now between mac lovers and pc lovers :)
 
I use songbird, it does not have the same modification abilities like foobar but it does the job.
I've read that decibel is a nice player too

Interesting way to position speakers. I for one follow the whole 'tweeter at ear level' rule. However whatever works for you is mostly what's important. That's a cool setup. I'd love to audition the A2's as a replacement for passive speakers/power amp.

true, but if you notice, the speakers are facing downward, the tweeters are aimed more at my ears, than when there were on the desk, aimed up

Great to see a rare set of Elacs on here. I have a pair of 207As and love how crispy the JET is.
If you're going for highend headphones at some point, make sure to try HE-500/HE-6. I think they have the same kind of 'crispness'

They're nice and detailed indeed. Personally I prefer a little bit more low-end, which is why I bought my sub (to accompany the studio monitors). Maybe one day I'll get a Paradigm Sub-1 or 2 haha ^__^
