I recently purchased a set of audioengine a5's, and while they sound incredible, a subwoofer is needed to enhance the low-end. With a budget of $150, I am looking at these 2 subwoofers in particular: tSc ASW-10 Dayton ES8 (Engineered by HSU) Which one is the better bet? Anyone have one of...

How would I connect my D1080's to a Dayton ES8 Sub? A 3.5MM to RCA plug into the sub input + 2 RCA Plug from sub output to master speaker input? Could I connect a dvd player's rca audio to the sub-in as well?

Case Closed. Parts Express offered to switch them out for a new set. What's the chance that this set will be defective as well. In the manual, HiVi claims a .8% defective rate on their speakers, but from what i've read, their seem to be a lot of problems with them. Would a M-Audio AV40 be a...

Both speakers

Hi, I just received the Swan D1080 set (after much research), and while they look and sound beautiful, for some reason they stop emitting sound (a sudden clip) at random times and I have to turn off the unit and turn it back on. This was happening when I was using the equalizer setting in...

Thanks...they look quite good. i'll add that to the list for consideration. How do they compare to the D1080?

Sorry, the title of this thread should be for active speakers, I don't believe any of these can serve as monitors at the price point.

Hi, I was looking to purchase a new speaker set to replace my muddy Logitech 2300's. As the title indicates, my budget is under $200. I am not expecting anything amazing, but functional in many areas for the price, and certainly better than the 2300. Here's what I have in mind so far...
