    Best 2.1 Speaker System under $200

    If they still make them or if you can find them... Edifier S2.1D. They're just awesome. Absolutely incredible sound for the money.

    Resurrecting an old radio (need some help)

    So I found an old vintage looking radio in my garage (replica type of thing made in the 80s). Basically it was trashed. So I stripped out everything and am now left with an empty box. I already have a new speaker and a small amp ready to go. That leads me to my question.... How can add radio...

    Help Me Spend Some Money (closed can rec)

    Well I've been enjoying my MS1s for a couple of years now, they're still rocking pretty hard. However living in the dorms there are moments (more often than not) where I'd like to spare my roommate from hearing my tunes (all while canceling out him watching TV). Some background. I listen to...

    Why Do They Rock So Hard? (Edifier S2.1D Tribute)

    Just got them in today. Hooked them up via SPDIF from the Emu 0404, and turned on what I consider to be my benchmark songs (Clapton Unplugged -Signe 1, Whole Wheat Bread - Loud and Clear, Goldfinger - 99 Red Balloons, Grateful Dead - Sugar Magnolia [from Hundred Year Hall]). All I can say is...

    Headphones for rock: $100-$150

    I've never listened to the SR-60s but I'd say either get those or the MS1s.

    $100-200 price range headphones

    MS1s are spectacular and a bargain.

    Speakers for the dorm room

    So I went with my gut and purchased the Edifiers S2.1D. Anyone who has these, feel free to send me reassuring replies as a buy like this always leaves me feeling antsy. On one hand I'm excited, but on the other hand I'm always gonna wonder what some of my other choices sound like. As a side note...

    Speakers for the dorm room

    Alright I need some speakers for my dorm room and eventually an apartment. Mainly they will be used for the computer. Now here is the problem, do I go bookshelf speakers or the 2.1 computer speaker setup? My output is an emu 0404. I have an old JVC 100w receiver at my disposal. Price range...

    amp with some thump?

    No its not for portable use. I won't rule out portable amps but I pretty much only use music on the go when I'm working out.

    amp with some thump?

    The pimeta->MS1 combo right now is pretty good but sometimes it seems lacking in the bass department. I know that the MS1s are capable of some solid bass because I can hook them up to my old receiver and be in bass heaven. However the rest of the musical spectrum is sort of lacking on that...

    An idea for someone

    I just had a thought. If someone is building a desktop computer and used one of those cases with the headphone output on the front, why not add a cmoy in there and have it output through that jack. Or replace the jack in the front of the tower with a better type. Wouldn't have to be a cmoy of...

    WOW! Believe the hype.

    Picked up a pair of the KSC 75s finally. All I'm gonna say is the hype is real. I doubted but they truly do come sort of class to the MS1s. Overall the MS1s sound better but these hooked up to my new shuffle are awesome.

    Recabling the MS-1?

    Well improvements are probbaly just a matter of debate. As for myself, I can't imagine that the difference in a new cable on the MS1s would be drastic enough to warrant a change. The grado cable seems pretty goodso as long as it works and everythign I'd keep it. Now if you really like ot tinker...

    Speaker n00b needs a little help.

    Well yea obviously crappy speakers can sometimes be ok depending on the setting whereas crappy headphones are always crappy headphones. Basically I need somethign thats lively and fun like the MS1s are for me. I listen to pretty much everything with an emphasis on rock. Movies would also be big...
