So, as I'm moving outta my parents house and into my own 1-room apartment, I'm looking into getting some new hi-fi gear.
I currently own a set of Audioengine A5, that my younger brother is going to have for his birthday, as he's crazy about them. I'm prepared to spend a bit more on the new setup (1500-1800 USD-ish).
I've considered the Cerwin-Vega XLS-6 combined with a XLS-12 subwoofer. Before anyone flames, it's worth mentioning that I am a basshead. I'm a dubstep-fanatic, and I've had a few people tell me I should go for CW, when it's all about bass. To put it in other words; I don't want a built-to-last-forever Mercedes, I want a fast sportscar.
However, I've also heard that these speakers aren't really all that clear, despite being quite a good bang for the buck. My main concern is, will listening to other genres (rap, hip-hop, rock) be a bad experience, compared to my current A5's?
On another note; what other equipment do I need? I guess it's time to buy my first amplifier, but I'm not sure if I need a DAC and an "effect-amplifier" (direct translation from the danish word)?
My computer will be used at the source, and the system will be for general music playing (in front of the pc, over in the couch, having friends over, all that).
Are there any other alternatives I should consider? Has anyone heard a setup like this? What amp would I need?
I need pretty much all the info I can get. Also, do not hesitate to ask if I left something out.
