Hey guys, I need a bit of help deciding on what combination to go for here as I must confess that i'm new on the scene and all the more complicated words referring to speakers just confuse me haha, so just assume that I know nothing.
I wanted to replace my panasonic stereo (2x 125w speakers) as the output for my music (Asus Xonar DS > 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack cable > music port on stereo) as the sound quality is absolutely appalling. The stereo sounds 'ok' when playing from a CD, but the music port is horrible.
I was originally going to get some Teac LS-W300's and a FiiO A1 and run it like this Asus Xonar DS > 3.5mm to 3.5mm > FiiO A1> Teac LS-W300, but then I looked into it a bit more and i'm not sure if I can even connect those speakers to the FiiO...
The speakers have black/red binding posts for the sattellites and an RCA/LFA for the sub. From what I can gather, the A1 can only run 2.0 speakers using EITHER the posts OR the RCA, and not both. Though I hope i'm wrong.
I also do not know if the FiiO will push the speakers (50w sattellites and 100w sub) not sure what impedence or efficiency etc they are, I dont even know how to stick those words in a sentence when talking about speakers.
I can see tonnes of potential problems with the aforementioned setup, so I need help deciding on the possibility of different speakers (I want clarity and bass as I listen to practically all genres and I like my bass when it is needed), or the possibility of a different amp or different type of amp, or maybe just a bunch of messy adapters.
I dont want to chicken out and just buy some high power logitech speakers and run them straight from the sound card.
Thanks guys
