You could look at Arcam or Music Hall or B&K for high end receivers that will push them nicely. None have an ipod dock but all you need is a simple adapter to the ipod headphone jack. Keep in mind that you aren't doing the system justice if you are using mp3 quality. You would need to go "lossless" which takes up a lot more space on the ipod.
bldg system starting with Gallo Ref 3.1
I'm putting together a system since I recently acquired a pair of these. For now, my main concern is playing cd's. Playing mp3s from my IPOD would be a big plus. My budget is very limited at the moment and I honestly don't know what I'm doing. I wanted to get the Shanling MC-30. I figured it would be a great all in one solution, but was advised that it won't work well with the Gallos :(. So, if that doesn't work, what's my best bet? I know you guys aren't fond of receivers but it seems easiest to get a decent one and a decent cd player. Or should I get an amp and a cd player. You can tell I don't know what I'm doing. In the past, someone always put my system together for me AND I had alot more $$ to spend than I do now. Sooooooo HELP !
N.B. I list mainly to classical, r&b, and classic rock.
