I just bought a nice new Marantz HD-DAC1 for my home.
But now I need some speakers for it.
I have two choices.
Buy a set of powered speakers.
These Fostex are RIGHT in my price range have great reviews and they are available in Japan.

My friend says they sound too flat and need a sub. I have no subout put
okay. So option 2.
Buy an add on amp unit to connect to the DAC1 and get me a set of un powered speakers.
There is something cheap like this little thing.

agian no sub output.
What I really want it a ZERO frills 2.1 channel stand alone amp.
RCA in, some bad ass op amps, 2.1 channels out. Why is that so hard to find?
Should I should go with the Fostex speakers (or TANNOY Reveal 402s ). They will just be TV/Movie sound. maybe 10% of the time for games and music, but I use headphone for games and music almost exclusively.
