keith,
sorry for delay in response, just back to the forum yesterday after a few weeks off -death in family...
at any rate...
thx for the niles link! i have the "other" niles piece -and it is well put together -so this may well be the answer. i am also a crutchfield patron -so that is convenient.
i just wish i could run more than 2 sources (lots of beomasters -and speakers -but the speakers take up too much room)
thx again,
