My Amiga's RCA stereo output jacks output right over to my home hifi rig
thru a cheap Numark Disco Mixer into which is plugged a lot of other
junk (two turntables, a CD player, a cassette deck, a 20 band EQ, 
with a 100 watt Sony receiver driving the whole mess through two pairs
of speakers in my living room)...

You mention your hifi is in "another room." It might not be the most
elegant way to do it, but you could, depending on how far apart your
computer and your hifi are, run cables from the Amiga to the hifi, and
put another pair of speakers (as in A/B) in your computer room. 

However you end up doing it, you'll be amazed how good the Amiga can
sound coming out of something better than the pathetic A1080 mono speaker.

I've got some DMCS scores (Riders on the Storm with "Prarie Thunder"
instrument, The 1812 Overture with "cannon" instrument, &etc) on which
the bass fundamentals are amazing.  Or listen to the theme music from
the game, The Pawn.. visitors are astonished to learn this isn't a
record playing when they hear it.
