Such a tough spot to be in. So how would I know if im getting enough power, and that there is still hidden potential that would be fixed with just giving more power. Lets say I find what I hear a good/decent upgrade, then knowing that they MAY sound EVEN BETTER with just more power would bug the...

Hmm,   I'll test it tomorrow when im home from uni. I don't really have anything to compare it against. My tv speakers are hooked to a HK3770 and it has a headphone jack, but since its primary function is driving big loudspeakers im not sure how much headphones would benefit from it. (sorry if...

So I thought I was ordering the alpen 1 for my DT990 Pros(250ohm) and what i actially received was the alpen 2(the website has alpen1 pictures, alpen1 specs and nowhere do they write alpen2). Anyway, since the alpen2s seem to go only up to 150 ohm opposed to the alpen1 300ohms what do you guys...

I don't think i need an AVR, audio will do fine too :P, i figured out what cables i need Would i need a subwoofer with the ES80's tho? I read that the reviews said that bass was really good on them, but a few are suggesting a subwoofer. Not really sure how much do i need it.

Okay thanks, so thats def one option and that mini optical cable + dvi to the TV would work just fine? I didn't really tell the whole story, but sometimes when my parents are lazy they use their personal laptop and use an HDMI to TV. Would using an HDMI then make things more complicated? Also...

Im not sure how an optical out port looks like and google isn't being very helpful, its an old 2007 MacBook Pro. Shouldn't i be able to hook it via usb? It doesn't have HDMI, atm we've been using DVI + 3.5mm jack for playing movies from the laptop   EDIT: Checking specs it says "Combined...

I actually have no idea, its just that I belive the ES80-s are a little better, and they come as a bundle deal, 3390 + studio 180s and 3770 + ES80s The built in DAC would be very helpful since im going to be using an old laptop for movies, who knows what soundcard it has :D, a DAC is kind of...

Im forced to use local retailers and since i live in Estonia we dont have newegg or anything similar.   What i also found was a similar deal for HK3770 and JBL ES80s, its only a little more expensive, but might be a whole lot better, no? :P

Thanks for the suggestion I also found a pretty good deal from a local retail store selling a H/K A/V receiver 3390 with JBL Studio 180's for a price of around 700$, might be able to stretch our budget a little if these are worth it. I checked the reviews and all of them said good things about...

Im pretty clueless when it comes to big TV speaker systems so im in need of some suggestions/help Budget is around 400-500$ Im thinking 2.0 would be the most foolproof setup but any suggestion is welcome!   I currently have some really old ones, actually so old, that we shouldn't even...

The title is probably pretty vague because I know very little about TV speakers(been a headphone guy for most of my life) and since we've been watching more and more TV shows and movies together with the family we feel we're in need of better speakers. We currently have some very old self-built...
