Moving from PC to Mac
Why convert the files? Use Cog for playing back your flac files on a Mac. 
Any high WAF speaker with ATC sound?
There are a pair of PMC OB1's for sale on the forum. Not exactly high WAF but damn they sound good. And for ~$2350, they are a pretty good deal. 
Tube Audio Design HIbachi-II amps with Maggie 1.6?
Hibachi I/II put out around 220w into 4 ohms. They are nice solid amps as I use a pair to drive a pair of PMC OB1's. Paul is a stand up guy and his gear is top notch. If you're looking at the pair for sale on the forums for $550 shipped they are a...

Any TAD-150 Signature Fans Still Out There?

Milen007 - There is no difference in the actual data between WAV and AIF/AIFF hence there is no difference in sound qualty. They are both uncompressed formats.AFF is big-endian and WAV is little-endian (although there are little-endian aiff's out ... 
Looking for integrated w/ good dynamics kick
Finally got a different pair of speakers hooked up to this beast of an integrated and OMFG.The speakers are Mobile Fidelity OML-2 and the bass is thunderous. Guess those Audio Physic Tempo's were a bit wimpy on the low end. No need for a subwoofer...

Cft - You were right, the problem was not the amp but the room. Damn rooms! 
Looking for integrated w/ good dynamics kick
Again, another follow-up on this amp with a few more comments.I have now moved to a new space and it has made a HUGE difference in the sound. My previous listening room was around 12x19 w/ hardwood floors and one of the walls consisted of glass do...
