Oh gosh and for some reason the FS52 is $100 each on amazon right now....      I guess I'll be spending the day reading reviews

Well, here's the space I have to work with   http://imgur.com/IhvVifN http://imgur.com/XrlRJE4   I think the wharfedales 10.1's and the dayton are gonna be what i go with, just because im not entirely sure how/where i would set the floor standers and i can always wall mount the...

Ah yes I see.  Yeah, I have my TV connected to my computer as well with an HDMI wire running around my bedroom.  Ultimately I'd like everything connected to the receiver and coming through the speakers but like I said, music is definitely my main concern.    Well, I suppose at this point its...

Well, my TV and my computer are on opposite sides of the room.  I suppose I could just place the speakers on the side of the room with my TV if I went with towers and just use my headphones if i NEED to be sitting right in front of the PC.  i don't imagine that would be an issue.   Question...

Yeah.  The issue with tower speakers is There's absolutely nowhere I can set them up in my bedroom.  I WOULD set my speakers and receiver up in my living room BUT I don't care about having my PS3 or movies through them nearly as much as my music, and there's not really any convenient way i can...

I hadn't checked craigslist as I really wasn't sure what to look for as far as names/models/etc   a quick search of home sub or home subwoofer under $200 comes up with 8 results and they're all either car audio or like...computer surround setups

Ah, well will just 2.0 sound horrible and flat?  Cause I have no issues with spending $350 on the wharfdales and just not having a sub for a bit but if im gonna have absolutely zero bass then that's bleh too.  What sort of budget should I expect to have for a sub to not be a bottleneck on them...

Oh I see, awesome thanks.  how's this for a sub? http://www.amazon.com/Polk-Audio-10-Inch-Monitor-Subwoofer/dp/B0002KVQBA/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1JV3FHYV7OEL7&coliid=IGT5A62EOJOSG

Quote:     Provided I can buy from amazon or newegg, I'm comfortable with spending up to $550 on an initial 2.1.  I would eventaully like to go 5.1 but not until I have a good way of playing my music in my livingroom...

Any input on any of these?  Speakers are an entirely new world to me   http://www.amazon.com/Behringer-B2031P-Ultra-Linear-Reference-Monitor/dp/B000LQ2ABK/ref=sr_1_6?s=musical-instruments&ie=UTF8&qid=1358539451&sr=1-6&keywords=studio+monitors  ...

Oh I see. Now to decide on speakers

Quote: Alright cool.  Question though, why would going from the video card to the receiver not be better than the RCA connections for 2.0/2.1 as you say with the 5.1?

Hey guys, so I finally got a receiver and would like to go ahead and get a speaker setup so that others may enjoy my music when they come over (currently just have my headphones)   At the moment I've got it set up as: flac --> foobar --> xonar essence st --> optical --> receiver (onkyo...

Quote: Well, I don't think the dolby config has any affect on the way the playlist is displaying, but i have no idea how I was able to get the albums to show up originally.  I tried to do a new portable install and then set up my theme but it didn't display right and i just have no clue...

How do I remove this?  I really want just stock foobar back so i just did a portable install and re-installed the skin i like but now none of the album names show up in the playlist and i just want it back to like it was before :(((

Quote: I see, thanks a ton for the info and thanks as well for the breakdown!  Know of any amps off the top of your head that can support my headphones as well as speakers?  Depending on how much shopping around I do I might have to just wait on speakers a bit...

ermmm, so shall i still head over to pink fish? topic seems to have taken a turn for over my head haha...   i assume you mean this? http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/

Quote: I see.  I believe (assume?) that the RP1 includes the arm + cartridge   When you say "Phono Stage MM/MC", does that refer to the preamp/amp?  Or cartridge? (I see that the Denon 103MC is a cartridge)  I don't think I would be doing any cartridge changing in the beginning but...

So let me start I guess by saying that I have a good-ish set up in my bedroom, good enough such that I'm satisfied with it for my income and budget.  I've currently just got all my music in flac on my computer, an asus xonar essence ST, and a pair of 600ohm DT880's which I absolutely LOVE [I say...

i dunno why but my install of foobar sounds different than the ready to go download...   all the settings are the same, i made sure and checked between the two side by side..   but it's definitely not 'stock' sounding either...  i can just remove everything from the DSP stuff and that'll...

I have three F Pilot vanishing points, 2 chrome and 1 stealth black   thinking of selling the 2 chromes though and getting one of the stipula passaportos  and a twisbi, and just having some beer money :P

man I gotta say, i've been debating trying this out but im kinda torn.  I have a xonar essence ST and some DT880s (600ohm) and I love them with mostly stock settings.  I've tried the dolby headphone setting in the drivers a couple times though and iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii just dunno if i enjoy the way...

Quote: hey nice, and $30 isn't so terrible.  Is there any actual empirical evidence about different wires affecting things?  I'll probably get one anyway though, i dont really like the feel of this wire.  its too like..idk sticky or something

Quote: phew...$75 seems a bit steep for a wire huh? >_>

Any particular one?
