Oh, and I saw that someone recommended the Sennheiser MX-450's in another thread... reviews on Amazon mentioned a lack of bass response. I enjoy bass, but I understand the limits of earbuds, so I'm not sure if I would like these or not. Also, are the MX-450's better than the higher model...

Call me old fashioned, but these new earbuds like the E2C's tend to just annoy me... I strongly dislike the IEM design because I occasionally like to share my earbuds with other people, and no one likes to see my ear wax, not even me. I also prefer the old Y-style cord, with the equal length...

Hey bundee I need to get new speakers... currently I'm using an Onkyo 502 reciever, any speaker suggestions for less than $200? They have to be better than the Swans M200 though, I am spoiled. (I run the Swans analog from my sound card since they are self-powered and the Onkyo has no pre-outs...

Man this is the exact question I need to have answered.... Exactly what speakers did you end up getting man? And where they better than the Swans?

The Transit, along with a cheaper USB sound card, were able to bit-perfect digital out without ASIO or kernel streaming. Details here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...hreadid=527242

Will my Onkyo 502 reciever be able to drive them properly? It's 6.1 CHannel 75W/ch

Well I got a reciever along with a Dayton 10in subwoofer hooked up, so now I need speakers to replace my powered Swans M200... What are some good entry level speakers that are as good as these Swans (which are fantastic sounding)... Something $150-$200 for a pair would be nice.... Anyone?

I orderd an Onkyo 502 reciever and a cheap Chaintech AV7 sound card. I'm going to output digital from the card to the reciever, and then RCA composite to the Swans. Is this a good idea?

anyone?

My current setup is an onboard Nforce2 in my Shuttle XPC computer. My speakers are the Swans M200. The speakers sound great, but I know they could sound better with a new soundcard, or amp, or external DAC but I don't know what to do first. I want at least to have 4.1 so I can get two more...

I too am interested in knowing this.

I would also be interested in people's opinion on this topic... these two players are top of my list as well.
