I do not think personally Phil ever really got to hear the DXD808 sub woofer at its best by the accounts of how the subs were set up.
The JL Audio subs are nice, but it was a shame that you never got to hear how the DXD's can really perfom when set up correctly :)
Really, so infact they are downgrading there Sound Quality for what they think is something better then?
I know JL Audio subs are in fact quite good but you really do not understand how the DXD subs work in comparison to the JL Audio subs, SPL figures may look good but what that is doing to the...
The Audiolab is a good DAC and preamp but you will still need amplification, personally I have not heard the MDAC with ProAc so cannot comment on how well the 2 will work together, but you need to demo the kit to be sure!
If you want good 2 channel then you might need to invest in a good 2 channel amplifier to power your speakers as trying to get great HiFi out of an AVR is not going to happen unless you are looking at the higher end models.

Typical Rob Sinden, I will let WHF mods dictate what goes on here but he generally likes to take over and it is the usual sales tactics that he is using by writing out a long winded email full of sales talk!
I just hope people have more sense on this forum and dont get taken in by it, but like...
