Update :  received the sports armband from ebay a few days back - enjoying the M7 while jogging too wee Link if someone is curious...

Well with all the talk of the HTC One M9 i thought this would be prime time to dip into the used market to nab previous flagships on the (dirt) cheap so i got a HTC One M7  Very clean sound out from the headphone jack (the headphone amp section exceeds my expectations) and am using it as my...

Coming to a 4th year and my old Lepai LP2020A+ still runs cool and cheerfully 24/7  I expected it to die and buy a new one like 2 years ago but it still lives! 

Just fished out the M7 on the cheap used at a local online forum and all i can say is WOW! I connected it to a Fiio E7 and actually to my ears the HTC One M7 on it's own sounded better! Think i am settled for a smartphone/dap combo and i know i would be using this 24/7 on the train/tube but am...

That would be the BS-21/41 

  Ya sure why not - let us know how these pair up and if u liked em 

You'd want subwoofers with high level (speaker wire) inputs/outputs but the good news is a huge number of them has this and you run the bookies as sats off the speaker wire outputs on the active sub  

Hmm i was once in your shoes and yes older model AVRs just with optical/coax (no HDMI) allow DD/DTS 5.1 and on gumtree you can find real basement bargains ^^

You'd need speaker wire and a 3.5mm to RCA (red/white) audio cable. Well given the price u got it for i doubt you can do better unless there are some awesome deals still floating around?

Looking at the specs of those JBLs @ 89dB, i'd say the Lepai LP2020+ is a good match ^^ I have a PC audio set up with some Polks and they do excellent together ^^

With Black Friday looming prices could get even better but in your shoes     Pioneer BS41s http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882117406   Huge thread on these @ AVS http://www.avsforum.com/t/1278774/pioneers-speaker-genius-hits-low-price-point   Topping TP22...

If u want to do a 2.0 in a living room for a multi purpose audio set up i.e movies, music, tv, etc i'd have them having some decent low end w/o a dedicated sub? In my case i went with floor standers and it worked out fantastic 

For $700 i would just go with a decent 2.1 given small room 

I actually own those cans and i can tell you even with a now outdated Fiio E7, the cans sing far better with the E7 than onboard mobo audio!
