Hi JTD. What amp and speakers did you use? Did you assemble it or it is a branded one? The 12" 170 w RMS base thingie must be rattling your building.
About one and a half years ago I bought my first professional music system after years of using low powered assembled ones. It is an entry level audiophile system. A Sonodyne 80+80w RMS amp that has a class A/B amp with discrete power transistors for output and Sonodyne stereo tower speakers:- 2 woofer, 1 mid range and 1 tweeter in each wooden box rated at 130w. I had discarded my 15 years old BPL-Sanyo front loading audio CD player and it was lying under the cupboard. Hoping for the best I got it out and it still runs nicely giving good audio quality. Even its remote works. The system is now attached to my new Linux box with core i3 and Intel DH55TC mobo and Ununtu 10.04. Sound output in Linux is excellent and the post 100% volume control feature in gnome is very nice for low level media sources.
