Do you mean there are no RCA connections on pro audio gear? Of course not //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif They use 1/4" TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connections, mostly, or XLR connectors for the balanced connections. You can always buy adapters to go between the two. I needed to buy some adapters to hook my DBX 215 EQ up to my NAD 3020 integrated amp... You don't need a special CD source, that's the whole point of an additional preamp.

Honestly, I've never figured out (my own personal audio rant follows) the need for huge amounts of power at home. I'm not just talking about tubes, but using lower amounts of power from solid state amps (like 80w-100w unclipped) to high efficiency speakers, like a line array or horns, makes a lot more sense to me. Going from 85-6dB/W to the mid '90s will make a light and day difference in output level. Plus, speakers are cheaper to build than buying more equipment in front of them //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

speaker cabinets are fairly easy to make...with the cabinets the horns and woofers may go into the same box or separated...i have my woofers separated and horns aren't in any box...

speakers going into your home setup are also sensitive to box sizing to an extent also...a speaker can go into one box and out perform a more powerful woofer in a different box etc etc...just make a large vented box and you're good for the woofers...personally, vented for home setup for me, aint like a sealed home box although i've seen it...vented is just better...the horns can be placed into something separate or just placed on top of the woofer boxes

Ok, thx for the help, sorry for the late reply, was gone all weekend. But in a home system wouldnt i want a tweeter and a mid though? Or are you talking prosound speakers?
