Sorry this is not in the appropriate section, but I don't know where else to put it, as it would be out of place in any of the other sections.
Anyways, I have $1000 CAD to blow on a home stereo system. What components would you choose? Please don't go over and say I should save more.
The system I have picked out at this point is pretty much a built subwoofer, Emotiva BPA-1 amp, Spitfire DAC (if I can get cheap on ebay), and paradigm Atom/Mini Monitors. My computer (iMac) will be used as a source, using Apple Lossless digital files and a coax digital output.
Your choices appear to be relatively sound...what would you like us to say? If you're looking for an endorsement of your choices, you have it.
I guess I would ask that you check out the Trends Audio TA 10 amp. The Atom Monitors are very efficient and would likely be quite musical with the TA 10.
