Currently I have a Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 that I have had for a while. Not being satisfied with the sound, I decided to go a little overboard. I picked up some brand new Definitive Technology StudioMonitor 45s for a steal and was able to hook those up in place of the Klipsch satellites. It is a bit hokey though. The control for the Klipsch is meant to go on the speakers and it is just hanging out. It's time to clean it up a bit and get a dedicated amp for the Def Techs.
I figured I would continue to use the sub from the Klipsch and set the sub and volume controls to a good level and tuck the control module away. I have a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer SB0770 7.1-Channel PCI Sound Card and was going to go from the sub out to the sub and the L/R to the new amp.
Was looking around at different amps and there are a lot to choose from. Room is not a major concern and would like to find something in the $300 range for the amp. I am not a gamer and primarily looking for sound quality. I saw some posts about the Lepai LP-2020A+, but thought that might be a tad underpowered. I'm open to USB DAC or tube setup as long as they don't break the bank.
Any input is most appreciated!
