I think that I am going to get a pair of Monitor Audio Silver 8i and a factory refurbished Denon 1712 for $800 and a Panasonic DMP-BDT220 for the Blu-Ray player, is this a blaring mismatch of speakers and amp?  

From all the research I have done, the speakers sold for $1700 new and its $525 for the pair so its not a bad deal. 

after some research into the world of used speakers I have found a pair of used kirksaeter silverline 120 for $525, it seems to be a good deal but I havent been able to find much about the speakers (reviews wise) has anyone had any experience with kirksaeter speakers or this model in particular? 

thanks again cel4145, what would you recommend in the $300 range for receivers?

even at half off it with the blu-ray player ir ends up being $1200 which is more than I can spend so if you have any suggestions that are slightly less expensive I would greatly appreciate it. 

I guess that is the problem I face, I will most likely end up using the speakers for movies and netflix a tiny bit more than I will listen to music with them, but I dont listen to music with a lot of low end in it. I also feel that since I am new to speakers I have a general bias towards towers...

I looked into the Jamo C607 and Outlaw Audio RR2150 and its about $400 out of my price range, if it is at all possible I would prefer to keep it as close to $1000 as possible.

I am currently using the retina macbook pro and im not entirely sure whats inside of it, I do know that my computer has a HDMI out and yes my computer monitor has an HDMI input, but I would mostly be using a panasonic DMP-BDT220 for movies and netflix and either optical or hdmi for the computer...

Thank you cel4145 for your advice! I dont really want a sub just out of consideration for my suite mates and anyone living on top or below me. I am going to check out the Klipsch on either thursday or friday this week, whenever I have a break from classes. I am really new to the world of...

I recently moved into a suite at college and I want to loft my bed and create an entertainment/relaxation/homework area. I really want to get some nice speakers and an A/V receiver to connect to the blu-ray and computer monitor that I would use for movies and Netflix. I was considering the Denon...

I buried it in a bowl of rice, and yah I am going to get a new adapter but I just wanted to know if I could listen to it tonight, but i'll just wait for a new adapter. 

Earlier today I accidentally  washed my 1/4 to 1/8 adapter (just some random best buy adapter) that I use to connect my LCD 2s to an O2 amp. I'm wondering if it went through the dryer too and is dried out, would I be able to use it without worrying about damaging my headphones or should I wait...

Thank you everyone who offered their opinions on my problem! 

Thank you Paradoxper I will definitely check that out.

I don't really have money, I just have the HD600s and the schiit lyr (and some other random audio gear) that I would sell to afford the LCD 2s. I already have some money saved up for the expenses of college this is simply for audio purposes.  

I am willing to build my own amp, is there any suggestions for a DIY amp for LCD 2s in the $200 range? (I am relatively new to the DIY scene so preferable nothing incredibly difficult)   

The 1000 budget that I stated in the initial post hinges on me selling all my current audio equipment. The most voiced opinion is to look into the LCD 2, if I were to get the LCD 2 I probably will have to sell the lyr. Would the LCD 2s sound alright being powered by my O2? or should i sell it...

Bump (any ideas?)

I will be attending Cal Poly Pomona, in the aerospace engineering program

For clarification I will be staying in a suite so theft will not be an issue, and I would like to have headphones so just selling my equipment and using that for college is not really a preffered option. 

I currently own a pair of Sennheiser HD600s (with a HD650 cable), Schiit Lyr, O2 amp and various other small things like a upgraded power cord (which was a gift) and additional tubes. I will be attending college in the fall and I have always wanted a nicer pair of headphones. I have two pairs in...

Yah i'm set on a full sizer I already have a Pico slim and JH-5 Pro combo so i'm okay in the portable market. 

No need to worry about noise leakage or theft as I will have a single thankfully. Do the modestly priced amps have enough power to drive the HD 800s well?

I am starting college in a couple of months and as a graduation present my family banded together and got me a pair of used HD 800s. I have been saving most of high school for college and I decided that I wanted to spend $550 or less for an amp. Can anyone recommend an amp for around that price...

I actually had the opportunity to try the HE-500s a couple months ago and didn't particularly cared for them. I am also not too worried about student loans, I have been saving for college almost all of high school and I was lucky enough to win many scholarships. This is just a gift to myself for...
