Instead of 1000 watts, get a good quality one, and you will be more satisfied.

How much are you willing to spend?


Get a 2 channel amp to get quality.

You can shop at www.audiogon.com or www.ebay.com and have it ship to you - ask before if the seller will.

To answer your question 4) you need a pre amp.

If you want a smaller amp with the pre amp built in, they are called integrated amp, or receiver (radio added).

To get good sound, you need good speakers as well.

Also upgrade the soundcard in your computer to m-audio audiophile 2496. You can get it in ebay for less than $100.

You can get quite good sound from computer, but you need all the good equipments - soundcard, pre amp, amp, speakers, and even good cables.

www.ac4l.com has ixos cables that are good and affordable. Their gamma ones are good.
