x2 I have them and love them for non-crit PC speakers or for watching videos on my PC. They also serve well for background music when I'm cooking in my kitchen.

"My set-up is nothing special, just using it for my PC audio set-up. Source audio input is from to my Yamaha Waveforce 192XG soundcard hooked up to a pair of GC/Walcom Epitome 93 dB bi-directional cube speakers with Crunch 14AWG speaker wires with AMX Xtreme gold plated banana plugs. I play it through foobar2000 player with ASIO driver" You can check out other peoles T-Amp set-ups here: http://www.musical.ca/gallery.html

EdT - I've never heard those speakers you have, but I bet those Insignias would crush them when paired with that TA-10. Have you heard of or looked at those before?

GC/Walcom is known for their in wall speakers, normally retails for $129/pair, but as you said no ones has heard of them so no one also bid on them also !

I looked for the Insignias and have heard about them on other forums, but they are not available at Best Buys in Canada.

What is the specs and sensitivity for them and are they 2 ways ? I also don't have too much real state on my desk, so a small footprint is also important.

T Amp + insignia rocks. Problem is BB (the bastards) raised the price to $90, putting you in the nose bleed area.

For that much money you could also consider the JBL Control 1x.

==========

But if you want ease of use, cheap and damn good sound with no sub, RUN (don't walk) to buy JBL Duet 2.0 best $40 on PC audio with no sub you'll ever find.

I know I spent a month with your requirements. Read reviews on Amazon and newegg.com

I wrote an article on my T-amp impressions if you are interested. You may have to look around for speakers in the price range. I used Pinnacle Pn5+ speakers that I got off of eBay in the review. The downside to buying speakers off of eBay is the price of shipping.
