Hi Ivan:
Thanks for your reply! Your answer prompted me to look at receivers on Accessories4Less. Now I know that Apple Airplay is my friend. Until now, I wasn't aware that some receivers have Airplay built into them.
The link below shows 4 stereo receivers with built-in Airplay sold by A4L. Three Yamaha units and one Marantz. The Marantz also has a built-in CD player which is a plus. A4L sells a lot of Factory Refurbished components including the four shown in the link. I have had good luck with them before, so that doesn't concern me.
Ivan - You will get a kick out of this. I wasn't having any luck selling my old JE Labs Open Baffles, so that's when I got the idea of building a second system. Since I moved my old speaker drivers to new baffles, I needed divers to replace them.
After considering a number of vintage full-range drivers, I went with the Fane 12-250TC discussed on the Hi-Efficiency Asylum. You responded on that thread with this about the Fane - "Near perfect Fs, Qts and sensitivity, and decent impedance for tube amps."
I can confirm that! I have only had them up and running in my main system for a couple of days but the Fane drivers sound fantastic. It's amazing what you can get for $85 in a full-range driver these days! :-)
