Speakers for a desktop system

Johnnyb53..

Sounds like a good idea.. What would you use for a tube line stage that won't take up to much room on the desk?

Regards,

Johhny,

I just ordered the Audioengine a5... Should be here in 3 days.
Going to look at the vincent sa-96 next. I have a vincent audio tube cd player that I am very happy with.

Does anyone make a line preamp with usb that also has a DAC in it? So that I don't have to use the DAC that is in the Mac?

Thanks
Dan

The audioengine A5's came today. Out of the box they sounded just ok.. But then I remembered that my magnepan 1.6's sounded terrible out of the box so I let them play for a couple of hours while I went outside. When I came back I was just amazed. Playing straight out of the my Mac they are amazing. Huge stoundstage. Very musical. Found myself pulling out disc after disc and just listening to the music not the stereo. I hate to say this but I could live with this system alone... My main system is a Parasound a21 amp, Audio expressions tube preamp, Energy veritas speakers and Audioquest king cobra cables.
I found the Audioengines online for $325 shipped, no tax. So far I think this is the best money I have yet to spend on audio dollar for dollar.

Thanks Johnnyb53 for the suggestion on getting these.

Forgot to mention my main cd player is a vincent audio tube player..
