    New Modern Receiver for Older Floor Standing Speakers - JBL4800's

    Audio Newbie looking for some help with some older speakers trying to get them to work with more modern audio gear.  Basically need a receiver that will allow these older speakers to connect with modern TVs, gaming consoles, and with Bluetooth.   I have two JBL 4800s, and two Technics...

    Adding a subwoofer to Fiio E10K + 2.0 Studio Monitors

    Nice! Another R&G fan!   Yea, the sub really just took my audio experience to the next level, I'm so pleased.  I just favorited that link, so I will have to check out those bass-y movies.

    Adding a subwoofer to Fiio E10K + 2.0 Studio Monitors

    Alright!   Amazon One-Day Free Shipping!   I think it seriously arrived in about 12 hours from the time I ordered to the time it arrived.   It came packaged VERY well, high quality foam on all sides, especially top and bottom.  Good, thick instructional manual.  Warranty card, etc..  ...

    Adding a subwoofer to Fiio E10K + 2.0 Studio Monitors

    Awesome!  Thank you for explaining that to me, I was able to understand that really well. I just ordered the Sub a few hours ago, should be here in the next day or two via Amazon.   I am watching Kingsman right now with just my Samsons.  It sounds good, I really enjoy the sound of these...

    Adding a subwoofer to Fiio E10K + 2.0 Studio Monitors

    I think I'm set on the Dynamo.  Reading reviews it sounds like the better, tighter, more crisp sounding option, no hum or hiss like a lot of people are complaining about with the Pioneers, and add in that it comes with a 3 year warranty, I'm sold!   On the rear, I only need to plug in the...

    Adding a subwoofer to Fiio E10K + 2.0 Studio Monitors

    Thank you so much for concisely answering my questions in an easy to understand way.  I will likely leave the sub at a set value that is in the medium range and try to leave it there.  Of course, it will take some trial and error to hone in on the perfect balance between sub and monitors.  I...

    Adding a subwoofer to Fiio E10K + 2.0 Studio Monitors

    Will I still be able to use the volume control on the Samson Monitors to control the volume of the Samson's themselves? Or I have to find a good match between Studio Monitors + Sub, leave it static, and only control both through the volume control on my computer?   I am mostly looking at the...

    Adding a subwoofer to Fiio E10K + 2.0 Studio Monitors

    I'm no audiofile by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like my sound.  I am also really bad when it comes to connections, and I think that is my biggest are of concern, how do I add a subwoofer to my current setup.   I currently have a FiiO E10K, Philips Fidelio X1 Headphones, and Samson...

    2.0 Speakers Compilation: Best for <$500

    You've got to check out the Samson MediaOne 4a's.  I got these when on sale for a crazy low price of $80 via Amazon.  They have since gone back up, but if you can find them for <$100, you have to pick them up.

    Philips Fidelio X2?!

    Hey guys, I have a question about a tube DAC/AMP.  I want to pair it with the Philips X1, but no one in that thread has been able to help.   How do you guys think something like the XDuoo TA-01 DAC/AMP($135) would fair with the Philips Fidelio X1s?  I currently have a FiiO E10K, I'm pleased...

    [New] Philips Fidelio X1

    I've never heard what a tube does to sound, and some people on another thread said that the FiiO E10K will make the X1s sound too warm, but I am not so versed in audio, and if it is warm, then I like the match.  My only complaint is that it can get grainy in highly complex songs with lots of...

    How do you guys think something like the XDuoo TA-01 DAC/AMP($135) would fair with the Philips Fidelio X1s?  I currently have a FiiO E10K, I'm pleased with it, but the price on the DAC/AMP listed above looks good and I can probably resell the FiiO for close to what I paid.
