I just wanted to let you guys know I went to Guitar Center and listened to their speakers. I heard KRK Rokit 5, Rokit 6, Yamaha HS50M, and Mackie MR5. The Yamaha would be my favorite with a sub because of how clean and forward the presentation is, but they have NO bass without a sub and I don't...

Already the speakers + sub (if any) are going to be taking up 30% of my work area, so I can't sacrifice any more space for an amp. The rooms are just too cramped. I listened to my friend's Yahama HS50M speakers... and WOW. Even my old v3 darth beyers didn't compare to those. It was very...

Hi there. Saw your post but those are passive and I require powered speakers right now... they look nice but don't meet my requirements unfortunately.

Edit: Summary of requirements -Small enough to fit on college dorm desk -Work in small spaces (nearfield?) -Powered/active -1/4" inputs -$300-400 So I'm looking to transition from headphones to speakers. My setup area will be a small dorm room. I'm going to run the speakers from 1/4"...

Is http://www.monoprice.com considered "decent?"

Thanks for the heads up falang. I will be avoiding these speakers for now.

I'm in a similar position and have decided to go with powered speakers. I'm deciding between these speakers in the $200 range: Audioengine A2 Swan M200mkII M-Audio BX5a (Used) I don't know if this helps or confuses you more. Heh.

Yeah, it is just a weird situation because he purchased them recently, about $100. I think you have satiated my need for information. Thanks.

Thanks for the help. Would it be cheaper to get one of those or buy new speakers? If it is more economical to buy a multi-channel DAC or av amp, do you have any specific recommendations for which product to get him?

He's got a Mac Pro. It has optical digital audio input and output toslink ports. But the speakers he's using are like this: Is there some way to plug those speakers into the Mac Pro's toslink ports? I assume some converter box would be needed.

Friend of mine has a situation that I can't find a solution for. His logitech speakers plug in using 3.5mm surround (the green, orange, black kind) jacks, but his Mac only has toslink inputs available. Is there some piece of hardware he can use to convert between?

Hi there, As I am the only tech-savvy person in the household, I have been tasked with finding a new TV. Here are the criteria: <$500 <30" (for portability) Good audio/high volume Looks good with both cable and video game systems. Other than the buzzwords surrounding LCD TVs, I...

I don't get it. You realize this is fake as the guys above me stated, right?

Glad to see you got the money back. Was this user actually "hacked," or is he just BSing after being caught? I find it hard to believe that someone would steal a relatively unknown head-fier's account to scam people on head-fi.
