Hey all,
Thinking about getting a pair of Adam A5X speakers to go along with a new PC build soon, but I had a couple questions.
These will be my first pair of active speakers, so I just wanted to confirm that I'll be fine with my setup. The source will be a CEntrance DACmini CX, which has an RCA out. All I'll need is two mono RCA cables (Like these for example: http://www.amazon.com/Cables-To-Go-Series-Meters/dp/B0002J1LD4/ ) going to each speaker, correct?
Secondly, I've read that the bass is deep and such, but how does it compare to a system with a powered sub? Right now I'm using a Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 system, and I'd hate to lose bass. That said I'm not a basshead and I listen at relatively low volumes, so I don't need a ton of power.
Finally, from what I've read if they're going to be on top of my desk I should purchase some Auralex pads (Such as these: http://www.amazon.com/Auralex-MOPAD-Monitor-Isolation-Charcoal/dp/B0002D0B4K/ ) to go under them?
Thanks!
