Basic Cakewalk Questions

I have some very basic questions about Cakewalk Home Studio 2004(I'm building a home PC based studio for the first time):
Firstly, I'm confused about the drum and synth capabilites. .can the drums be programmed and played back without anything other than the software and soundcard; ditto for the synths? Or are these features solely intended for midi plugins

BM6 amp?

Hi all,
Thinking of getting Dynaudio's BM6, but what amp is sufficient? The spec say minimum of 40W?
So double to 80 would probably be safe.
would the Hafler P1500 be enough, I think its 150W
in 8 ohms.
Actually I'd like to get the Bm6A, but the funds aren't up to par. would it make that much of difference? Upgrading from Event PS8.

Thanks.

Mixdown Tools

I'm just curious on what other people are doing for this. I have a cakewalk Sonar 3.0 producer edition recording platform. I'm using the Delta 1010lt cards for audio input and an allen and heath mixwizard 16 for my mic preamps . My specific question has to do with mixdown. I wanted to find out how other people do this.

Improvising with gear

I see articles & read stories about the quality of converters in various pieces of gear. If one can't afford an Apogee or Lucent or equivalent, could you improvise with something like your CD recorder or anything that would AD/DA your signal? Of course the signal would stay all digital but has anyone tried or used this as their norm for general mastering?
