I actually still have a DBX 224 decoder/encoder.

Welcome. I don’t own any Sunfire’s but they should be able to handle the Maggie’s. They have two optional outputs. One is voltage driven and the other is current driven. Someone can chime in on which would work best. I would also think a M1.0t mkII would be up to the task.

Wife advise. I’d buy both and just set them up on the rack like they have always been there. She may not even notice. If she does then just say you rearranged or reconfigured the system. Always worked for me. Fortunately, I no longer have to ease or sneak new pieces in.

I sampled the album on Amazon. I can hear why you like it, but not my type of music. We all have different taste. ?

Welcome. You'll love it here!!

Welcome to the rabbit hole of OCCD. Lol. You’ll love it hear! BTW, there's several members here in your area.

I prefer Digital, CD, SACD. Streaming Spotify and iPod for convenience when I have a house full of guests. I still have just over 400 LP’s that are stored in sealed bends. Turntable is also stored.

Looking good there

Volume One by Kool & Klean on Spotify. Nice and Smooth Jazz with a room filling Bass and Sax.

Jade, you can feel relaxed here. Great people and willing to share knowledge and experiences.

He hit each and every point I thought of. Sound Quality is also very objective. What I like could sound like crap to someone else and visa versa.

I prefer Spotify. The big difference for me is using the Browser and picking songs from list respond so much faster. Pandora has a lag once you click a song. Spotify is almost instantaneous.

Welcome. Your post made me burst out laughing. Make sure your next lady respects your love of equipment. It'll make life easier. Glad you found us. Lots of help and great people are here.

I've been there too often. LOL. I've loss track of how many drivers I have smoked.

I put my own tracks on a CDR and let it play. My taste is different than most here.

Security system or not, I wouldn't let trash like that in my place... Or the speakers. You're right. I was much younger back and a risk taker. I wouldn't do it now in these times.

IT'S TRASH!!!!! That white van trick has been around for years. Used to sit in Circuit City and Best Buy parking lots waiting for people. One day I told them let me test them out in my house that wasn't far from the store ( I knew the security system in that house was pretty much fool proof). When I hooked them up they couldn't compare to anything I had. Not even close. I was running Bose 901VI's at the time. The power amp almost killed the white van speakers. I sent them packing and have warned people every since. They were even on the news here as a scam.

Welcome to the best site and group of people ever. If you mean a slight humming sound through the speakers it may be related to the RCA cables on your input at the pwr amp.

I actually have a DBX 224 sitting stored away. PM me.

Welcome. Sounds like you found the right place. We'll keep that obsession growing. We like pictures.

Sounds like congratulations are in order!!!

Welcome Dnspy007. You have an awesome setup there. You did it right posting pictures before we had a chance to ask for them. LMAO
