I liked the audio from the Klipsch but I had to have the volume turned up over half way because anything less induced scratching and the left speaker sounded weaker.

Curious as to what is considered the best inexpensive computer speakers that are easily available. Thanks.

BTW, these are the speakers I replaced with the Bose. The reason was that the volume control was messed up at the lower volume levels. Apple Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 2.0 Computer Speaker - Yahoo! Shopping

Didn't know these had a built in amp already so thanks for the info. What other speakers are in the same price range that are considered better? I listen mostly to rock with some softer ballads on occasion so I don't need a ton of bass. Thanks.

Just got these speakers and was wondering if an amp would make a difference and which amp to get. Would a cmoy be good? Thanks.

Can't seem to get Asio or KS working even with F2K so I'm thinking of getting another sound card. What would be the next step up? I want to be able to get bit perfect output of 96kHz like the 710, preferably under $100. Thanks.

Nobody has an opinion on this issue? Bummer

I wanted to ask the pros here if iTunes gets the best performance from the 710 or does Foobar? I know how to configure Foobar and am using the Wolfson DAC so is there really a difference between the players?

Thanks for the link. Wish they had addressed the audio quality issue more. Looks like the UI was their main thing.

Is the sound quality good? Dont want my mp3s to sound crappy.

I currently have my AV-710 hooked up to my home stereo with a cable but I was wondering if I would lose audio quality by hooking up a wireless solution to stream the music. Has anyone tried this and are there any good systems for it? Thanks.

Can I use the optical out to connect the card to my home stereo receiver and still use the the regular green speaker out for my speakers? I thought using the optical would turn off the other jacks.

I want to be able to use the Wolfson DAC for my headphones and the regular speaker jack for my speakers without having to go into the controls and I was wondering if there is a way to do this. Is there a particular driver to use for this? I want to be able to get the best sound from my...

Hoping someone can answer this. Got a new case coming in and want to set things up properly.
