Hey guys, I am totally new here, so if there is any stupid question plz forgive me lol   Currently i am building a desktop hifi in my room. I compared various bookshelf speakers in Bestbuy and I really like Klipsch speakers and Polkaudio subwoofers putting together. They are really capable...

So I apologize in advance for my lack of flow, my thought process is jumbled and misinformed at best.   So I want a great sound system starting off at around $600. It would be powered by my computer (Spotify, love that ****) and would be used at tailgates and fraternity parties. When not in...

Ok so I have come across a bit of extra scratch, and I have decided the weakest pieces of kit I have now are my DAC/Amp/Pre-amp and my speakers: Audio-GD FUN and M-Audio bx5a's, respectively. I have looked for DAC/Amp upgrades and came to the conclusion that I can't afford the Burson Conductor...

Well i just got rid of my Logitech X-540 5.1 as i dont use 5.1 for gaming anymore i use a headset  and i want better speaker sound quality . Im now after some 2.1 speakers but i have no idea what to get. Mostly will be used for music (pretty much every kind) while im not at my pc (have a...

hello everyone,  I going to do my first awesome speaker and amp setup for my pc.  But I am not sure what I should be getting.  I was thinking of these speakers:  ...

Can someone recommend me some 2.0 speakers for PC that blow my Audioengine A5s out of the water in clarity & overall sound?   I see the prices vary hugely so I have no idea how much to spend (for example I doubt spending 800 on swans would give alot better sound over the a5s) & I read you...

  Back in May, I read Steve Guttenberg's article on CNET about putting together an extremely low budget desktop stereo system. The system basically consists of Dayton Audio B652 bookshelf speakers and a Lepai LP-2020A+ amplifier. The article is here:  ...

Currently I have a headphone setup and need some decent speakers to switch off to. My headphone setup is basically just this: Nuforce Icon HDP. [Ultrasone Pro 900 headphones if you're curious] I'm looking to get either of these speakers(most likely the BX5a depending on price): M-Audio AV 40...

Hi everyone, I'm a complete layman when it comes to high-quality sound setups, but I've been using a crappy-ass headset with a top-of-the-line gaming rig for about a year now, and the lack of sound quality is really starting to become noticeable.   What I'm looking for is a setup that...

I'm in the processing of building a 2.1 system for music and movies.   I was thinking of getting the following...   2x Tannoy Reveal 601a - $500 1x Velodyne vx-11 - $180     Then I need a receiver?     What's the cheapest receiver I can get?     I'm from CANADA...

OK on another forum I read frequently, a user is saying that ANY 5.1 system is superior to 2.1. Is this true?  I don't know much about audio.   He says Logitech Z-640 surround system is better than ANY 2.1 system?  Is it true?   I looked it up and Z-640 is from 2002! What can you...

Just picked up Moprice 8320s after i saw the thread on this website and decided to seek your expert advice on a new system for college to put in my room. The room is about 10X18 and I don't have roommates so no worries about noise :)    I will be using my laptop(Dell XPS 15) and my phone...

So I just picked up a Macbook Air to replace my desktop rig and Audioengine A5 speakers. The A5's were wonderful as near-field/directional speakers, but doesn't really fill up a bedroom vibrantly.   I'm considering a T-Amp like the Dayton DTA-100a and a quality 2.0 bookshelf speaker to...

i use the pc for : gaming/music/movies   there is no main use, i use the 3 of them pretty much   i have: audigy se amp http://audio-database.com/TechnicsPanasonic/amp/su-c04-e.html speakers:http://www.thevintageknob.org/technics-SB-F1.html (click on spec bottom left corner)   i...

I am new to audio and head fi, and I need a new set of computer speakers. I found a couple high rated 2.1 sets on amazon, and was wondering which was the best. If none of these is sufficent for the price, my range is 40-60 bucks.  ...

Hey there,   Noticed how there is a lack of interest towards speakers, specifically computer speakers. Can anyone describe to me how these $500- B&W are? I know the sound is very good for a near-field speaker, but i'm more interested in the DAC function. It has an internal DAC/amp -- can it...

I'm new to the speaker scene and I'm looking for a good 2.1 speaker set or some passive bookshelves and a amp for around $150. Just looking for something to hook up for my computer that's half decent that me and my suite mates can listen to while where in our suite.

I am extremely new to audio and head-fi, yet am in the buisness for a new set of computer speakers. Speakers are not my primary form of listening, which is why my price point is so low. So which ones do you reccomend? They only need a range of a few feet, preferably that don't interfeir with...

hey guys,    I'm in need to upgrade my speakers.  I have been doing a little look around in stores and currently have my mind made up on KRK 8's.  Speakers will only be used for listening to music, mostly hiphop and techno. Will be using Imac and a macbook pro.  Are there any other speakers...

hi all,  i'm looking for a good 5.1 speaker system to buy for my PC. I will use it mainly for playing games and I don't often listen to music on my computer. I know literally nothing of audio systems so i would like as much input from you guys as possible.  the logitech z-5500 and the edifier...

Hey everyone, I've been looking to buy new speakers for awhile now, and the sub from my old crappy Altec Lansings blew out last weekend, so I think the time has come to go ahead and do it. I live in a college apartment so with parties and everything, I was kind of assuming a 2.1 system with a...

Right now I'm using Infinity Primus P153s. I'm happy with the sound, but already have the upgrade itch. I'm looking for a substantial improvement for my upgrade. I'm using a Denon AVR-1912 to power my speakers. I'm not interested in active speakers. I'm not interested in Swans, Audio Engine and...

Im looking for a good set computer speaker for both music listening and gaming, but mostly for music. There's one thing I absolutely want; good mids. I was considering the audioengine A5 but the mids are overshadowed by the bass and are not present, I want present mids! My budget is 500...

Hey guys, I know this has probably been posted before, but I've searched high and dry and found nothing that seems to answer my question.   Basically I'm after the best sounding speakers that can go loud when they need to. They also must have decent bass. Currently I own a pair of M-Audio...
